Skins TE Jordan Reed (shoulder) doesn't need surgery, but unsure he can play Week 13

Nov 28, 2016

The good news for Washington tight end Jordan Reed is that he doesn’t need surgery. That doesn’t mean his separated shoulder feels great, or that he’ll be able to play this week against the Cardinals.

“It’s probably about 30 percent range of motion right now,” Reed said, via J.P. Finlay of CSNMidAtlantic.com. “I don’t throw the ball, so I don’t need surgery.”

Reed was able to finish — impressively — after injuring his shoulder last week against Dallas. Coach Jay Gruden referred to it as a Grade 3 AC Joint injury, but Reed said there was no danger of making it worse last week by playing.

Fantasy Impact:

Reed said he is day to day and it seems like it just depends how much he can manage the pain. Vernon Davis would be a nice fill-in for Reed owners if Reed can't play, and may be worth carrying from here out if this continues to be an issue for Reed.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
