Redskins' Reed plays through shoulder separation

DALLAS -- Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed said doctors told him he probably wouldn't be able to keep playing. But Reed knew the difference he could make in the game and, despite having an AC joint separation in his shoulder, he decided to return.

Reed suffered the injury early in the second quarter of Washington's 31-26 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, falling hard on his left shoulder after jumping for a pass in the end zone that he couldn't catch. He then missed the rest of the quarter and, at halftime, was told it didn't look good for him to play again.
