Justin Reid will need at least one more week until he's ready to return to the lineup.
The New Orleans Saints safety is inactive for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. He was questionable coming into the game after practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday.
Reid initially suffered the injury on the first play from scrimmage against the Miami Dolphins. He returned to play later in that series, but missed the remainder of the game as well as the following week's win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Safeties Jordan Howden and Terrell Burgess have split the defensive snaps at safety in Reid's absence.
Here is the full list of inactive players for the Saints Sunday: Reid, running back Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle), offensive tackle Asim Richards (ankle), tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden, defensive back Rejzohn Wright and defensive tackles Khristian Boyd and John Ridgeway.
