Nice. I'm confident saying that he can beat most LBs in man coverage. That's his forte. With him and Kittle on the field, someone is being covered by a LB.

TE Jordan Reed (81) got off to a very good start in 1-on-1 drills at his first #49ers practice. Those aren't allowed to be filmed, but here are some of his routes on air before that. pic.twitter.com/MmlV4H4sjx

Yes, finally practicing ! He's a beast when healthy. Great hands. I wouldn't be surprised if Kyle plays him more like a WR than a TE.

This guy shouldn't be playing I'm concerned for his safety. Really irresponsible of niners to allow this.

I consider Reed more like a big WR than a TE. When Reed was a rookie in WAS (Kyle was OC), he lined up in the slot, detached from the line, many times.

It could be his last chance to get a paycheck before his career winds down. Niners probably had him go see specialist doctors about his head injuries to make sure they don't get sued by him or his family as a condition of signing him. If Reed says he can play and passes the physicals why not? Reed can also retire at any time if he wants to.

Football is a choice, the niners didn't force him to come back and play
