Reed is currently on the practice squad, but he may be the favorite to back up Fagnano after playing for the Ravens during the 2026 NFL preseason. Reed was an undrafted free agent who signed with the Chicago Bears in 2024. He has never appeared in an NFL regular-season game, but he thrived for the Dallas Renegades during the 2026 UFL season, completing 56.3% of his passes for 1,923 yards, a league-high 21 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
