  Boise State cornerback Markel Reed hasn't played football in 10 months, but he's back on the field this fall competing for a starting job. "It feels good be back out there with the guys and playing with my brothers," Reed told reporters on Tuesday. "This summer was a big stride for me. Getting back in August for camp was the goal." It's been a tough couple of years for Reed, a senior from Temple, Texas. A shoulder injury kept him out of spring practice in 2021, but he fought his way back and started four of the Broncos' first five games last season. Then a knee injury put him on the shelf.

Both injuries required surgery, and Reed said two operations in less than a year took a toll on him. "It was definitely hard dealing with mental issues and stuff like that," he said. "You deal with that with injuries, but you just have to push through. I'm glad to be where I am and to be going 100%." Reed was held out of spring practice this year as he rehabbed from the knee surgery. He said his teammates helped him get through the darkest days, especially edge rusher Demitri Washington, who was healthy for a full slate of spring practices for the first time in his career this year. "All my brothers helped me, encouraging me and throwing me the brotherly love I needed," Reed said. - Idaho Statesman
