We gave them each some joints to loosen them up?

It would be nice to have a pro-bowl TE but a halfway decent backup TE like Reed would do.

multiple sports pundits have been saying many in the organization had a lot of frustration with Reed's unwillingness to play through pain last year.

Cooley said reed seems to take longer to return from injury compared to other players with the same problem.

basically, Reed doesnt like to play through pain and in the NFL, you are always going to be in pain.

difference btw playing through pain (no or little risk of further injury) vs playing with injury (risk for further injury)

both injuries really suck for us. i think we need all hands on deck and some luck to get this thing going in the right direction.

As I said earlier, another Florida Gator "softie".

We don't need guys playing to not get hurt except maybe a QB. everyone else on the team needs to ball and fight for every inch they can get.
Reed is the kind of guy that would get injured in a flag football game.

If the 2nd guy didn't come in to clean him up he would have avoided the first tackle and gained some more yards. The 2nd guy hit him when his leg was planted which caused the injury. Shit happens.

Shit is more likely to happen and it seems Reed is its happening target.

That's a blow, especially with Neild also out. But thank goodness for short-term IR.

Well, I guess this is the end of Cofield's Iron Man streak. 81 straight games started... easily the most among the league's defensive tackles.

I think I heard yesterday we were going to work out some tight ends some time this week? Paul and Paulsen definitely aren't enough there. Too bad Bolser isn't ready to be brought up.

Paul did a nice job stepping up, outside the fumble of course.

Paul was great minus the fumble. Losing Reed is only bad from a depth point of view to me. Losing Cofield does hurt our D off the bat.

Jordan Reed = Glass Jo = Malcolm Kelly
