Reiner well the chances are 50/50 at this point but anything can go at this point, because Attack on Titan holds no punches. Way less, in my opinion.

Check my comment on chapter 77; here :

Let's assume, he was able to back up the content of his brain in the titan head or nervous system (which is possible, because he released the signal he was tasked to).

Now, what's the actual situation ?

1 - Human body

- human body is forcefully remove from the titan body (through the explosion),

- human body is utterly damaged... (and i doubt he can easily regenerate a brain outside of the titan body, or at least, there was no sign so far that he can )

2 - Titan body

- it suffered multiple explosion around the neck and in the head.

- It has not moved

- connection between both bodies are broken

(fiber around the eyes of the human body within the titan are gone, the head of human body is gone and the neck of titan body is half cut through the explosion),

So, we can assume, at least, that his human body is dying, if not already dead (no heart beat, no lung breathing, no vital function kept alive; since the brain and the central nervous system was destroyed).

And that the titan body is severely damaged too (he probably already has lost most of his ability to move, because of the explosion in the neck).

Also, it is realistic to consider that Reiner consciousness is caught inside the titan body... But might either be fading away, or at least not being really able to move the titan around or regenerate the human body that is torn apart and outside of the titan.
