Redskins hope to get Jordan Reed back next Sunday

The Washington Redskins took another hit at the tight end position Thursday night when backup Niles Paul suffered a concussion, but the team could be in better shape come their next game.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said there is a chance Jordan Reed is ready to return in time for the team's Week 5 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Reed has been out since the team's opener after pulling a hamstring.

“He’s still got the hamstring and he’s rehabbing as hard as he can go right now,” Gruden said, via CSN Washington. “We’re very hopeful that he can get back sooner than later. But like I said before, those hamstrings are all different.”

Gruden added that Reed's injury was "a bad one," but noted that Reed "is coming along at a good pace now."
