The reason the Washington Redskins continue to stick with tight end Jordan Reed through all the injuries is rather simple. And it comes back to what coach Jay Gruden said at the NFL owners meetings in March.
"Jordan's a special guy," Gruden said. "Not many tight ends can do what he can as far as running option routes across the middle and breaking people down and lining up on the outside and beating people deep. He's a special talent."
He just needs to be healthy.
After last season, the Redskins aren't quite sure when that will be.
