Washington tight end Jordan Reed has missed the last two games with a concussion, but he says he’ll be good to go for Sunday’s game in London against the Bengals.
“I’m feeling 100 percent,” Reed said. “I feel symptom-free. I feel back to normal.”
Reed still needs to be cleared by an independent doctor as part of the league’s concussion protocol, but he sounds confident that he’s going to play on Sunday.
The 26-year-old Reed has already been diagnosed with five concussions in his NFL career, leading to concerns about his long-term health. Given those concerns, the team would be wise to play it safe with Reed and err on the side of giving him more time off, even if he’s insisting that he’s ready to go.
