Redskins expect to get back TE Jordan Reed this season

Sep 24, 2019

Washington tight end Jordan Reed has not played since being diagnosed with a concussion in the third preseason game Aug. 22. Will he ever play again?

Coach Jay Gruden said Tuesday he expects Reed to return at some point.

“I’m not worried about that, no,” Gruden said when asked if Reed’s career might be finished. “He has seen specialists, and we are just trying to get to the bottom of it and figuring out the best way to make him more comfortable, get him back in the lineup."

Fantasy Impact:

The story added that Reed's return appears "weeks" away at best. Until then, Davis will be the team's TE1. Davis had a nice Week 1 vs. Philly with a 4-59-1 line, including a 48-yard TD catch. But since then, Davis has 5 catches for 59 yards over the last two games.

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

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.

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.
