Malik Reed hasn’t had the best stretch of games as T.J. Watt’s fill-in while Watt recovers from a torn pec suffered in Week 1. Reed has yet to record a sack and has just three solo tackles in three starts. Still, Reed said that even with the Pittsburgh defense entering Week 5 a little more banged up than usual, he along with the rest of the defense is still confident they can get the job done against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.
“Very confident,” Reed said when asked about the defense’s confidence level despite injuries. “Every time we step on the field, we come out there for a reason and for a purpose and that’s to play great team ball, great defense as well.
