    Lions activated DT DJ Reader (quad) from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Sunday.
    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Reader reportedly passed his physical after months of rehabilitation. Reader suffered a torn quadriceps in Week 15, 2023 and his Week 1 status remained uncertain entering training camp. His activation is a positive step in that regard. Reader provides an imposing three-down presence for the Lions’ defensive line.
  • DET Defensive Lineman #98
    Lions placed DT DJ Reader (quad) on the active/PUP list.
    Reader suffered a torn quad in Week 15 against the Vikings last season. The veteran lineman signed a two-year, $27.25 million deal with the Lions earlier this offseason, but we don’t yet have a timeline on when he may return. Head coach Dan Campbell has already gone on record saying it’s unlikely Reader will return by training camp, which could make him a candidate for the PUP list once the season kicks off.
  • DET Defensive Tackle #98
    Lions agreed to terms with DT D.J. Reader, formerly of the Bengals, on a two-year, $27.25 million contract.
    Reader secured a nice payday for himself. The veteran tackle the last three weeks of the regular season with a torn quad, but NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports “everything checked out” regarding his visit, and he is now ready to join the Lions. Reader totaled 34 tackles, one sack, and two TFLS in 14 games for the Bengals last season and has been a force on run defense for much of his career. He’ll join a Lions defense that allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game last season and the third-lowest yards per carry.
  • CIN Defensive Tackle #98
    Bengals placed DT D.J. Reader (quad) on injured reserve.
    Reader left the Bengals’ Week 15 thrilling win abruptly in the first quarter and did not return. It has since been revealed that he suffered a torn quad and will now miss the remainder of the 2023 season while on injured reserve.
  • CIN Defensive Tackle #98
    Bengals DT D.J. Reader (leg) carted off in the first quarter of Week 15 against the Vikings.
    Reader suffered a right leg injury in the first quarter of the team’s Week 15 game against the Vikings. He was carted to the locker room and ruled out for the remainder of the game at halftime.
  • DET Defensive Lineman #98
    Bengals coach Zac Taylor said DT D.J. Reader (knee) will be activated for Week 11’s game against the Steelers.
    Reader is Cincinnati’s best run-stuffing tackle. Without him, Cincinnati has allowed at least 150 total rushing yards in three of their last five games, and only really shut down the Panthers. This figures to be bad news for Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren this week.

  • DET Defensive Lineman #98
    Bengals designated DT D.J. Reader (knee) as eligible to return from injured reserve.
    The Bengals now have three weeks to add Reader to the active roster or he will revert to season-ending injured reserve. In the meantime, Reader can resume practicing. Reader’s eventual return to the lineup will be a boost to the Bengals’ defense as a capable interior pass rusher.

  • DET Defensive Lineman #98
    Bengals placed DT D.J. Reader (knee) on injured reserve.
    Reader is eligible to return for Week 8, but it sounds like the team expects him to be out for a bit longer than that. A staple along the Bengals’ defensive line, Reader’s presence will be missed as the team now looks to Josh Tupou and Zachary Carter to fill the vacated role. Reader has totaled nine tackles and eight quarterback pressures on the season per PFF.

  • DET Defensive Lineman #98
    Bengals DT D.J. Reader (knee) could be out for “an extended period of time.”
    Reader left Week 3’s game against the Jets with the knee injury, and NFL Network’s MIke Garafolo notes that they could be without Reader for a “month-plus.” It’s a big blow for Cincinnati’s run defense, which will have to use more Josh Tupou and Zachary Carter inside. The Bengals draw the Dolphins on TNF, so Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert get a slight upgrade this week.

  • DET Defensive Lineman #98
    D.J. Reader left the game with a knee injury.
    Reader was engaged in traffic when he suffered his injury. He was able to walk off of the field under his own power, but has been declared out for the remainder of the game.
