If you recall, the Brutes weren't in Halo 1. But that doesn't matter for Reach. Why? Halo 1 happened at Halo, not at Reach.
Thel 'Vadamee (the future Arbiter) brought his remaining Fleet to follow the Pillar of Autumn, and this fleet probably had no Brutes. But if you remember, a larger portion of the Covenant ships remained at Reach to glass the Planet; this group could have included many Brutes. We know that there were Elites in this fleet from the First Strike novel, so we may see a mix like in the Halo 2 E3 2003 Demo.
So don't count them out just because they weren't in Halo 1.
