The tight end said that his family has expressed concern about his health, as have Redskins coaches and officials.
“[My family members] are always going to show concern and stuff like that because they care more about my health than anything, but I’ve got to take care of my family, so I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do,” Reed said.
Asked about his fear of long-term damage, Reed said, “It comes into my mind sometimes, but I pray a lot and I’ve got faith in the Lord that I’ll be all right, so that’s how I think.”

To say 5 or 6 concussions for a 4th year player is not a concern is just plain silly. He seems to understand the risk vs reward and right now, he views the risk as a necessary element for providing for his family. A few years from now and another concussion or two .. maybe the scales tip towards retirement.
I think we all agree we wish him the best and hope Burfict doesnt cheap shot him in London.
