Reed played just 12 of 66 defensive snaps in Sunday's 27-24 loss to Arizona, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Reed did not record a tackle and has a total of 16 in seven games. The Texans, 2-7 and losers of seven straight, appear to be in young-player evaluation mode. D.J. Swearinger and Shiloh Keo got most of the safety work Sunday.
