The Washington Redskins' offense, which has struggled this summer, received a dose of good news: tight end Jordan Reed was activated off the physically unable to perform list Sunday.
Reed was placed on the list at the start of training camp thanks to a sprained big left toe. He also had sprained his left ankle, compensating for the toe issue. But all along Reed maintained optimism that he would return soon and was eyeing this week. On Aug. 13, Reed started wearing a wider cleat and using orthotics to better cushion his toe. After doing so, Reed said he did not feel the toe when making hard plant-and-cuts.
