Jordan Reed says he won't allow a history of concussions to halt his football career.

Reed has suffered at least five concussions since he started playing college football, three of which have occurred in the NFL. The tight end says he has given no thought to quitting.

He signed a contract extension with the Washington Redskins this spring that will pay him $22 million guaranteed.

Reed says he probably suffered a concussion in Week 5, but hid it from the Redskins during the game.

"I kind of kept it to myself," Reed said "I had a pretty bad headache. ... I was feeling it throughout the game and kept playing. The next day I was feeling all right, and then there were some exercises I started doing and I started to feel a little worse."
