Reid was claimed off waivers by the Chargers after being part of the Detroit Lions’ final roster cuts in September, and he had worked his way into the rotation, making fellow defensive lineman Darius Philon expendable. On the year, Reid already had one sack to go along with a fumble recovery, which he returned 61 yards.
However, his loss puts the Chargers at five players who have been lost for the season to a torn ACL. That’s troubling, to say the very least.
His loss will likely elevate Philon back to the 46-man playing rostre, as he’s been one of the team’s inactive players in recent weeks.
