Oof. Not the kind of contact you want to see guys taking, especially in preseason.

Neal should have been ejected for that hit. It was really bad.

While Reed looked OK initially, as he popped right up, he was later being evaluated for a concussion:

Later in the evening, Washington head coach Jay Gruden said Reed was in the concussion protocol:

Gruden said Jordan Reed is in the concussion protocol. That almost always means a concussion occurred.

Reed has been diagnosed with six concussions thus far in his career, this would be a seventh:

Reed was a Pro Bowler in 2016, but has struggled to stay healthy consistently. When he’s on the field he’s great, but the 29-year-old has never played a full 16-game schedule. It looks like he may miss time again.
