The Facts: Reed was held out of Tuesday’s OTAs because of a knee issue. “He just had a little bit of knee soreness, so we sent him down to get checked,” HC Jay Gruden said, before downplaying it moments later.
Diehards Line:As PFT suggests, because it’s May and because they’re voluntary, there’s a ceiling on how worried one should get about the availability of certain players. But when those players have dealt with injuries throughout their careers, it’s worth filing away, at least. So Reed's history is an issue. In his first two seasons, the talented-but-tender TE has missed 12 games because of a litany of injuries, from the bottom to the top -- knees and hamstrings and hip pointers and a concussion. In addition, DeSean Jackson was not on hand. There was no explanation for Jackson’s absence, but Gruden said he was expected next week.
