ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins will be without tight end Jordan Reed for their NFC East showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

The team announced Saturday that Reed was downgraded from questionable to out because of a concussion. Reed reported symptoms Tuesday, was diagnosed with the sixth documented concussion of his pro and college career, and did not practice this week.

Reed is Washington's top offensive target with 33 catches for 316 yards and two touchdowns in five games this season. Vernon Davis and Niles Paul figure to see more action with Reed out against Philadelphia.

The Redskins said linebacker Su'a Cravens has also been downgraded to out with a concussion. Cornerbacks Bashaud Breeland (ankle) and Dashaun Phillips (hamstring) are questionable.

Jaguars make Gipson questionable for Bears with knee injury
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars free safety Tashaun Gipson is now questionable to play at Chicago on Sunday.

The Jaguars (1-3) updated their injury report Saturday, making Gipson questionable because of a knee injury. He did not practice Wednesday, was limited Thursday and participated fully in a walkthrough Friday. After seeing Gipson work in a more fast-paced practice Saturday, Jacksonville decided to change his playing status.

Gipson has 10 tackles and an interception this season. If he can't play against the Bears (1-4), Peyton Thompson would replace him in the starting lineup. A second-year player who has spent time with Atlanta, Washington and Chicago, Thompson has yet to start an NFL game.
