Reed suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers, but remained in the game despite a lopsided score. It indicates that Reed's sprain is of the minor variety, and if Washington's brass kept him in for meaningless snaps, then it's likely that he will be ready to go for a must-win Week 12 contest against the New York Giants.
Fantasy impact: Though Reed’s outlook isn’t the grimmest for Sunday, fantasy owners would be wise to monitor his practice reports closely. Reed is no stranger to the injury report, and nagging injuries have plagued him throughout his career. It remains to be seen if he will take the field on Sunday, but as of now, there’s no information that guarantees he will sit out.
If Reed plays at his usual capacity, he is a locked-in TE1 for a Washington offense that should have an easier time moving the ball against the Giants than it did against the Panthers.
