Redskins Not Expecting Jordan Reed To Play
5 years agoThe Washington Redskins are not expecting tight end Jordan Reed (concussion) to play in the season opener against the Eagles on Sunday, according to sources. Tight end J.P. Holtz has been promoted from the practice squad as a result. Reed's injury woes continue. The oft-injured tight end has TE1 upside when he's on the field, but he rarely can stay on the field. Because of his constant injury risk, he's nothing more than a low-end TE2 bench stash. If he's indeed inactive in Week 1, Vernon Davis will be the primary pass-catching tight end, but he's also a dart throw as a TE2 in deeper leagues and DFS. The Eagles were very stingy against the tight end position last year.
