The Facts: Despite missing all of camp thus far with a nagging toe injury (Reed is still on the Redskins' physically unable to perform list), Reed has zero doubt that he'll be ready for the regular-season opener against Philadelphia. "Not at all," Reed said. "I'll be back out there soon."
Diehards Line:Facing a season where the team lost two of its top playmakers in free agency (DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon) the Redskins cannot afford to have their best remaining one sidelined off and on. So it's safe to say they'll be cautious with Reed's return. Remember, the awkwardness of working around his injured toe this summer caused Reed to sustain an ankle sprain. Until the toe is sturdy, there's no reason for Reed to increase his workload. "From every indication I've received from the doctors and trainers and from Jordan, I feel he'll be ready for the season," Gruden said. "But you never know, so we'll still have to wait and see. Things are odd from time to time, but I have total faith that he'll be ready."
