The Facts: The Redskins will start camp without Reed, who is listed under the "physically unable to perform" designation, which means he can begin camp at any point after being cleared by team trainers.
Diehards Line:
Reed's designation was unexpected - he missed the team's voluntary workouts this season but was a full participant at minicamp. The team did not identify a particular ailment for Reed, so it’s not clear what led to the decision. As Profootballtalk.com suggests, given Reed’s lengthy injury history, including several concussions, it may just be a case of playing it safe until they feel comfortable ramping up his workload. The designation is allowed to roll over into the season if the players are still injured at the end of the preseason. On a more positive note, Josh Doctson is fully ready to participate, according to HC Jay Gruden.
