The Facts: Reed dealt with pain from the time training camp opened last season. That pain ended his season after six games. Now that the pain is gone, he said he feels like himself again. Reed will ease back into practice, but he was able to participate in individual work and remains confident in what he can now do after having multiple toe surgeries. Reed said he had the sesamoid bone in each big toe removed. "I didn't feel [like] myself the whole year," Reed said. "That's why I had to get the surgery and have the bone removed. I'm feeling 100 times better."

Diehards Line: As ESPN.com's John Keim understated, Reed's health is paramount to the Redskins' offense. He has missed a combined 16 games over the last three seasons and has played in more than 12 games only once in his first five seasons. That 2015 season also happened to be his best, as Reed caught 87 passes with 11 touchdowns in 14 games while the Redskins won the NFC East. Reed opened the 2017 training camp on the PUP list because of inflammation in the big toe of his right foot. He first hurt it in the spring, then opted for a stem-cell shot that didn't help. The toe never quite healed and it led to other problems with his leg and hip. He used orthotics in his shoe to help cushion his toe, but it didn't help. Now Reed is running pain-free. He had one surgery in December and the other in February. "I feel a [180-degree] turnaround; feeling a lot better, much more explosive, much more strong and in better shape," he said. "So I'm feeling great. ..." Great news. But his progress still bears watching (and watch it we will).
