Ryan Clark explains why Texans suspended Justin Reid for a game

When the Texans released their list of inactive players before Sunday's game against the Jets, safety Justin Reid was a curious addition. Reid actually is suspended one game for a violation of team rules, according to the Houston Chronicle's Brooks Kubena.

The former third-round pick is one of the team leaders and best defensive players. Former Pro Bowl safety and current ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, who is close to both Justin Reid and his brother Eric Reid offered an explanation in a 55-second video he posted on Twitter shortly before kickoff.

"He's a healthy scratch because of a disagreement," Clark said.
