Jordan Reed Won't Return vs. Giants Because of Foot Injury

Jordan Reed can't catch a break. 

The Washington Redskins tight end has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants with a foot injury. 

Reed appeared in 52 of a possible 80 games over his first five years in the NFL, and he was limited to six appearances a season ago because of hamstring, chest, shoulder and toe injuries. 

He later underwent offseason surgery to address a problem with his toes. 

When healthy, though, Reed has been a legitimate game-changer for Washington's offense. That much was clear in 2015, when he piled up career highs of 87 receptions, 952 yards and 11 touchdowns. 

This season, the 28-year-old has logged 54 catches for 558 yards and two scores. 

If he misses more time, Vernon Davis should slide back in as the Redskins' No. 1 tight end just as he did a year ago.
