WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed could be done for the season because of a strained toe muscle.Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Monday that he thinks Reed was hurt on Mark Sanchez’s high throw on his first pass of a 40-16 loss to the New York Giants a day earlier.Gruden said “there is a level of concern” with Reed Wes Martin Jersey , who leads the team with 54 catches and 558 receiving yards.Gruden added that the Redskins will have to wait to see “if it’s one week, two weeks or the rest of the year.”Reed has played in all 13 games so far this season, his sixth in the NFL. He’s never appeared in all 16 games of a season; his career high is 14 in 2015.Washington has a four-game losing streak and is 6-7 with three games remaining, beginning next Sunday at Jacksonville.Gruden mentioned two other injury issues: Receiver Josh Doctson is in the concussion protocol and linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton has a sprained shoulder. Hogs Haven takes a look at 2019 NFL Draft prospects who could contribute to the Redskins"Drew Lewis, LBSchool: Colorado | Conference: PAC 12College Experience: RS Senior | Age: 23Height / Weight: 6-2 / 229 lbsProjected Draft Status: 6th or 7th RoundNFL Comparison: Tanner VallejoCollege StatisticsPlayer OverviewDrew Lewis was a 3-star recruit who originally committed to Washington. He has some NFL bloodlines. His dad is Will Lewis who played corner in the NFL and USFL in the early 80s. He was also the Director of Pro Personnel for several NFL teams including the Packers Womens Bryce Love Jersey , Seahawks, and Chiefs. His uncle is Tim Lewis who also played in the NFL in the 80’s. Drew was given a redshirt in 2014 when he arrived at Washington. It was his first time away from home and his family and he begun hanging out with the wrong people and his grades started to slip. Something wasn’t connecting with him and the coaching staff. He was dismissed from the Huskies in 2015 and he enrolled in Coffeyville Community College where he played that year. Lewis got a second chance when he was able to enroll at Colorado. He started off on special teams his first year in Boulder before he had a breakout RS junior year and was one of the most production linebackers in the PAC 12. Lewis’ tackle production tapered off this past season as he was asked to fill more of a coverage role but he proved himself very capable in that area. At the next level he will be asked to play special teams again but he may be seen as sort of a diamond in the rough by some staffs. He has the upside to develop into a solid contributor at the next level.StrengthsConsidered a freak athlete at the position. He confirmed that at his Pro Day showing that he has the speed, explosion, agility, and athleticism that so many NFL teams covet at the position. Flashes of his potential can be seen on tape.When asked to work downhill and create pressure knows how to pursue and take good angles. He can close quickly in the backfield forcing QBs to hurry up. Technique getting off blocks leaves a lot to be desired but he can bang and fight his way through the opposition with brute force and find a way to the ball.Looks good as a coverage defender. He moves well in space and shows good awareness and react ability in coverage. Measured movement gained depth can fool opposing QBs who underestimate his recovery speed. He can turn and run with his opponents and adjust his body to make plays on the ball. Athletic ability allows him stick with almost anyone. Might have just learned a thing or two from his dad and uncle.When asked to attack and play the run tackling ability looks fine. WeaknessesInstincts and read and react ability are a really tough evaluation. He was used in a much different way in 2017 than in 2018. This past year he seemed a step hesitant and out of position because of his coverage responsibilities. Was asked to play outside linebacker but he isn’t. Doesn’t have the technique https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-terry-mclaurin-jersey , counters, or size to stay outside full time. Will be 24 in September but really only has 2 years of starting experience in D1 ball. Some weaknesses you could attribute to inexperience but the ‘football biological clock’ ticks against him.Leadership is important at the position and I’m not sure he has it. I couldn’t find any outright praise couple that with his past issue at Washington and teams will want to make sure he’s actually grown up. Undersized for the position.Let’s see his work:The RedskinsThis draft class is a rarity in that is has so many great athletes as the linebacker position that can be found in both the mid and late rounds. Lewis obviously has some nice tools to work with as a developmental prospect. I’m not sure what happened at Colorado that lead to his responsibilities being shifted to more of a coverage guy. I recommend you watch him in 2017 to get a sense of what I’m saying. While he’s shown he can handle the work there its made for a really tough evaluation and analysis for his fit not only at the position but his ability to improve. Teams will have to go back and compare the two different styles and their results to figure out how they really want to use him. As far as the Redskins go they need to keep adding depth and athleticism at the linebacker position. I like what I saw from Lewis when he attacks downfield but there is no secret he has a long way to go before getting on the field. Aside from special teams contributions I can see him on the field as a coverage defender on passing downs. But I also think he has the tools to become an adequate player in run defense. Lewis has a lot of questions surrounding him and a team will probably be willing to spend a pick on him late to see just what they are getting. It wouldn’t hurt the Redskins to take a closer look in the later rounds.
