Reid led all 49ers with six tackles (all solo) in Sunday's blowout loss to the Steelers.

Reid was one of several San Francisco defensive backs who were burned by Ben Roethlisberger for 369 yards Sunday. The six solo tackles were a decent consolation, but it was an overall poor showing by the 49ers' defense.

Reid recorded three tackles (all solo) in Saturday's preseason loss to the Texans.

Reid - who dealt with two concussions last season - looked healthy in his preseason debut. The concussions could become an issue down the road, as he has already sustained three through his first two seasons. But assuming a clean bill of health, Reid will be the 49ers' starting free safety week 1.

Reid (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against Arizona.

It's a good week for San Francisco to be without one of their starting safeties. Ryan Lindley is highly unlikely to capitalize.

Reid has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not return to Saturday night's game against the Chargers.

Reid suffered two concussions during his rookie campaign in 2013, so this diagnosis is especially worrisome for him. With a playoff spot out of reach for the 49ers this season, it would not be surprising if we don't see Reid again in 2014.

Reid left Saturday night's game against the Chargers with a head injury and is questionable to return.

If this game continues to go the way it's going (San Francisco leads 21-0), the 49ers may be able to play it safe with Reid and keep him out the rest of the way. If this is potentially concussion-related, he'll have to pass the sideline concussion evaluation before being able to return.

Reid recorded three tackles (all solo) and picked off his third pass of the season in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

Reid intercepted Russell Wilson in the endzone as time expired in the second quarter and almost took it to the house, but Wilson managed to trip him up before reaching the endzone. The interception was Reid's third through 14 games after picking off four passes in his rookie season.

Reid recorded three tackles (all solo), deflected two passes, and picked off one of Eli Manning's five interceptions in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Reid put together his best effort since week 1, but for the most part, he has hit a sophomore slump statistically. He is having a big impact on the field from a real football viewpoint, but his numbers have been down across the board compared to his stellar rookie campaign. Until he starts racking up more tackles, it would be wise to look at better safety options.

Reid only played on one drive in Thursday's preseason opener against the Ravens. He recorded one tackle in the loss.

Reid had little to prove after a stellar rookie campaign in 2013. He will be the starting free safety come September 7 when the 49ers take on the Cowboys.

49ers FS Eric Reid (concussion) is expected to play in Sunday's game at New Orleans.

It's a surprise considering this is Reid's second concussion of the year. The impressive and hard-hitting rookie will be in the starting lineup barring a setback in warmups.

49ers FS Eric Reid sustained a concussion in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Panthers.

It was a scary play as Reid tried to step in front of Mike Tolbert and got absolutely trucked. It's his second concussion of the year -- his first one came in Week 2.

49ers FS Eric Reid (concussion) is listed as questionable for Week 3.

Reid says he's symptom free with only one test to pass before receiving medical clearance following Sunday night's scary brain injury. "I have to check back tomorrow," Reid said. "So it's just a waiting game." Reid has been one of the NFL's most impressive defensive rookies through two weeks.

49ers FS Eric Reid left Sunday night's Week 2 game against the Seahawks with a head injury.

First-round pick Eric Reid has been named the 49ers' starting free safety.

That had been the expectation since the 49ers traded up to select Reid in April's draft. Reid is expected to stay back in center field while SS Donte Whitner patrols closer to the line of scrimmage.

CSN Bay Area reports 49ers first-round FS Eric Reid has gotten off to a "solid start" at training camp and is the front-runner to start.

The 49ers didn't trade up from No. 31 to 18 to select Reid and prop him on the bench. Craig Dahl had a strong spring, but he was never a realistic option to start for the win-now, Super Bowl-ready Niners. We expect to see Reid play a lot up high, while SS Donte Whitner focuses on plugging holes near the line.
