ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins cut tight end Jordan Reed on Thursday, parting ways with a talented but oft-injured player.
The move comes as no surprise given Reed's injury history and that the move saves Washington $8.5 million in cap space. He had been under contract through 2021.
Reed missed all of last season with a concussion, his seventh documented one since he started playing college football. He had remained in the concussion protocol until Wednesday. He has never played a full season because of various other injuries. A source close to Reed said the tight end wants to continue playing.
