Houston Texans coach David Culley says Justin Reid will play the Sunday after Week 12 on the bench

HOUSTON – Texans safety Justin Reid Sunday will play against Indianapolis Colts After he was dropped from Houston’s game in Week 12 for disciplinary reasons, head coach David Culley said Wednesday.

Reid has been suspended for the game against New York Jets after he challenged Culley’s coaching in a team meeting, team sources told ESPN. On Monday, Culley said his interaction with Reid, “wasn’t just a disagreement. It involved our rules and standards.”

Culley and Reid met Monday afternoon to discuss the situation.

“We’re moving forward,” Culley said Wednesday. “Back to business as usual.”

Sunday was not the first time Culley sent off players for disciplinary reasons. At the beginning of this season, people in line Zach Cunningham and hidden corners Desmond King II prepared in similar situations.

On Monday, Culley said the situation with Reid was “no longer a matter of distraction for the team”.

“We took care of it,” Culley said. “When those things happen, you care about it and you move on. That’s what we did in this situation.”

This season, Reid has two interceptions, a forced fumble and four saves. The 2018 third-round pick was in the final season of his rookie contract.
