Report: Texans Safety Justin Reid Inactive After Violating Team Rules

Texans safety Justin Reid will not play Sunday against the Jets after violating team rules, according to ESPN's Sarah Barshop.

According to ESPN's Ryan Clark, Reid had a disagreement with the team's coaching staff after he "answered a question honestly" when asked by a member of the staff. The answer led to his benching, per Clark.

Reid is one of the team's best defensive backs, having hauled in two interceptions this season. He also has a forced fumble and four passes defended this season.

A third-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft, Reid is in the last year of his rookie contract.
