Before the Washington Redskins made it out of the preseason in 2015, they lost tight ends Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen to season-ending injuries.
Paul broke his left ankle in the first preseason game and Paulsen needed surgery to repair turf toe – leaving the Redskins without two of the three tight ends expected to be on the active roster.
The one constant was Jordan Reed, who emerged as one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the league after hauling in 87 catches for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns. Reed was rewarded with a five-year, $50 million extension in the offseason.
