NFL Injury Report

Injuries for Monday night game

Washington won't have Jordan Reed

Washington tight end hasn't been cleared after concussion. Jim Harbaugh makes curious decision to not put rookie receiver Quinton Patton on injured reserve.

San Francisco and Washington have released their injury reports for the Monday night game.

One big name on there. Jordan Reed (concussion) won’t play. Since Washington elevated him, he’s been a top-5 type tight end. He’s a really good pass catcher, and they’ve been heavily using him as a receiver. If you were walking into a dynasty-type draft today, Reed might be one of the first five tight ends selected. Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski would go before him, then he’s about as good as anyone.

But Reed won’t play Monday night. They might Fred Davis in that role, but Davis hasn’t even been active for weeks. You’ve got to wonder if he’s even mentally engaged with what they’re doing. He’s gone at the end of the year.

Washington also might be missing fullback Darrel Young, who scored 3 TDs on change-up carries against San Diego a few weeks back and had a long touchdown catch and run in the last game. Young is questionable with a hamstring injury. But Young practiced some on Thursday and Saturday; we’re guessing he’ll be ready.

For San Francisco, no Mike Iupati, who’s one of the best guards in the league. And no Tarell Brown, who starts at cornerback.

The 49ers also list Quinton Patton as out, which is kind of interesting. He’s the rookie receiver who showed some nice catch-and-run ability in the preseason. He worked his way into the starting lineup but broke his foot at St. Louis. Noteworthy (I think) that the 49ers didn’t just put him on injured reserve, considering their veteran receivers are getting healthy. I take that as a sign they’re high on Patton, and that he’ll be a nice sleeper-type option for 2014. Crazy, though, that they’d have him taking up a roster spot for most of this year when he’s not been available.

The 49ers list Mario Manningham (knee) as questionable, but he’s been doing some work in practice. He should play.
