Detroit Lions cornerback DJ Reed is expected to play tonight against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 of the NFL. Reed's status was uncertain earlier in the week after being listed as a limited participant in practice. The Lions face a challenging matchup as they aim to contain Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who had an impressive start to the season. Detroit’s defense, already under scrutiny after a high number of passing yards allowed last week, will be selective in their approach against the Bills' potent offense.
