As expected, Redskins tight end Jordan Reed will miss Sunday’s game at Atlanta due to a concussion and cornerback Chris Culliver will miss the game due to a knee injury.
The team announced Friday, too, that wide receiver DeSean Jackson and cornerback DeAngelo Hall aren’t yet ready to return and will also miss the game. Jackson has been out due to a Week 1 hamstring injury, while Hall suffered a toe injury in the season’s third game.
Jackson has been testing the hamstring in practice over the last two weeks, but his absence of at least one more game is not a surprise.
An MRI showed no structural damage in Culliver’s knee, but he wasn’t able to practice this week. Bashaud Breeland and Will Blackmon are second on the team’s depth chart at cornerback behind Hall and Culliver.
Derek Carrier, acquired in August trade when an initial wave of tight end injuries hit the Redskins’ roster, is the likely starter at tight end with Reed out.
The Redskins also plan to list middle linebacker Perry Riley Jr. as questionable.
