Jordan Reed

Adam Schefter is reporting that the Washington Redskins have placed TE Jordan Reed on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

Reed had yet to play a game this season after suffering a concussion in a preseason game. This is troubling news given his injury history and may actually put his career in jeopardy. With TE Vernon Davis (concussion) also ruled out for Week 6, Jeremy Sprinkle will continue to fill in the spot for Washington. Even in a weakening TE market, fantasy owners should look elsewhere.

Jordan Reed’s career may be in danger due to his most recent concussion.

Reed initially suffered the concussion in preseason Week 3, marking the seventh known head injury since his days at the University of Florida. It was reported he was weeks away from returning, but now the Redskins are worried he won’t be back on the field at all. He still hasn’t passed the league’s concussion protocol. While Reed aims to get healthy, Vernon Davis and Jeremy Sprinkle will take on tight end reps.
