Redskins tight end Jordan Reed has been oft-injured throughout his three-year career. Now he is taking steps to keep himself as healthy as possible. He has changed his eating habits and stretches much more stretches more. Reed is eating "just real clean". He understands injuries a part of the game, nevertheless, he's doing what he can to prevent them. "It's out of anybody's control whether they get hurt or not," Reed said. "Anything can happen on any play. But it is in my control to make sure I'm doing extra to make sure I can stop the nagging injuries from getting worse … I used to stretch, but only a little bit before practice.
