Man, I hope the kid is ok.

From the article...

"Rookie tight end Jordan Reed will sit out the remainder of the season because of the concussion that he suffered last month, Washington Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan said Thursday.

According to Shanahan, Reed was examined by a specialist who recommended that Reed not practice for at least three more weeks. Reed will be placed on the injured reserve list, Shanahan said."

This kid is making me nervous. He has the ability, but damn if he doesn't get injured a lot. Hope he can get everything figured out and be a contributor for at least 13 games next year.

Also, Lance Lewis signed with the Cowboys. I thought the Redskins would sign him back once Reed went on IR. But this means they still have a roster move to make

Sadly Reed has had prior concussions. I hope his talent and career isn't being cut short.

Hate to say it but I don't think we can really count on reed for a future starter, IMO we should look at TEs in FA or draft especially if Fred walks

Yeah with his injury history I wouldn't put all my eggs in his basket. Since Fred D. is probably gone after this year we should look into acquiring another solid young backup. I hope the kid is okay though, even though I'd love to have him as a starter risking his future health isn't worth it. Now he can get take all the time he needs to get healthy.

What bothers me most about this is that because we are not a winning team there wasn't even a penalty give to Philly on the play that took him out. The officials turned a blind eye to the helmet to helmet collision in that game. It's a joke for the NFL to claim they are protecting players by fining players after the fact. Penalty need to be accessed during games.

Yep I think his career is probably over,I sure wouldnt count on him

Have I just not been paying attention or is it extremely rare for a concussion to take a player out of action for more than a week or two? It seems odd that Reed missed so much time for typically a fairly simple recovery for a concussion.

If Shanny is gone, I think maybe Fred Davis stays.
