The Facts: Reed still hasn’t played this year after suffering a concussion in the preseason, and he won’t any time soon. Reed will be placed on injured reserve, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Diehards Line:
As PFT notes, the injured reserve rules require a player to miss at least eight weeks, but in Reed’s case it seems likely to be season-ending. When a player’s concussion symptoms persist for two months, as Reed’s have, it’s hard to believe he’d end up coming back late in the season — especially on a team that’s likely to be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention by the time Reed could return. This concussion appears to be his most serious injury yet and it's not clear if it's something he'll be able to return from at all. We'll follow up as needed.
