Jordan Reed

Redskins TEs Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis are both out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Both tight ends are dealing with concussions. This means Jeremy Sprinkle will get his crack at the true starter's reps for the Redskins, who will be rolling with Colt McCoy at quarterback. Up to this point, Sprinkle has 12 career catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns in 31 games. It's possible Sprinkle becomes a good safety net this week for McCoy against a very good Patriots defense. But it's still a very tough matchup.
