Justin Reid Injury: Upgrades to limited Thursday

Reid (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Reid was unable to practice Wednesday after missing the Week 14 win over the Buccaneers with a knee injury. The safety's upgrade to limited participation Thursday is a good sign for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Panthers. However, if the 28-year-old must misses a second consecutive game, Jordan Howden will likely log another start at strong safety.
