Top Detroit Lions cornerback among those missing at practice
ALLEN PARK -- D.J. Reed was among those missing from Thursday’s Detroit Lions practice.
The Lions held a walkthrough on Wednesday, so this was the first look at a full practice this week at the team facility.
Reed has played his best football of the season and since before last year’s hamstring injury of late. Across the last four weeks, Pro Football Focus grades him as the league’s top cornerback. This past Sunday, he allowed only one catch on five targets for 11 yards in coverage. During his strong three-game stretch, the veteran defender has given up only 41 yards, all while remaining great against the run.
