Brooks Reed done for day with groin injury
Brooks Reed - LB - Houston Texans
Nov. 22, 2012 - 2:00 PM ET

Texans OLB Brooks Reed was forced from Houston's Thanksgiving game against the Lions with a groin injury, and will not return.

Sprinting up the sideline as he covered Joique Bell, Reed pulled up like he had been snipered. It's extremely bad news for a Texans team that's come out flat four days after outlasting Jacksonville in overtime. First-round pick Whitney Mercilus is now in the game at outside linebacker. Reed has 10 days to get healthy for Week 13, but it had the looks of a fairly significant injury.
