Reed, the Texans' sixth-round pick from earlier this offseason, has been sidelined since Houston's matchup vs. the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13 with a forearm injury; one that required surgery and placed him on Injured Reserve.

Houston Texans rookie safety Jaylen Reed practiced on Thursday for the first time since suffering a forearm injury on Nov. 30. Reed was designated to return ahead of the session, opening the 21-day window for him to be added to the roster.

Reed (forearm) was a full participant in Houston's practice Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
