ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed isn’t sure how much more he’ll play than a week ago. But he does know one thing: His shoulder has improved.

Reed was one of 10 Redskins listed as questionable for Monday’s game vs. the Carolina Panthers. Linebacker Su'a Cravens was ruled out because of an elbow injury, and linebacker Will Compton was listed as doubtful because of his knee issue. From the beginning of the week, it was unlikely either one would play.

Reed, however, can help the Redskins if he’s able to play more than the 10 snaps he did vs. the Eagles (the offense only ran 46 overall). Reed suffered a Grade 3 separation of the AC joint in his left shoulder on Thanksgiving Day vs. Dallas.

“I’m doing better; I’m managing the pain a lot,” he said. “I have more strength in my shoulder and am starting to feel more normal.”

During practice, Reed was able to make a variety of catches, extending high for passes in the end zone or reaching out in front of him with both arms. Last week, he often used one arm to make a catch and was in noticeable discomfort. There was one time, during the open portion of practices this week, where Reed seemed to have an issue, shaking his left shoulder. But a minute later he raised both arms high in the corner of the end zone to make a catch.

Also, he was able to participate in one-on-one drills, which he couldn’t do last week.

“This week I’m more confident in it, less scared of getting hit,” said Reed, who is tied for second on the team with 60 receptions. “I know how the pain feels, and I can manage the pain. There were a couple times I got hit [vs. the Eagles] and jammed up on the line where it was painful.”

After he hurt his shoulder vs. Dallas, the Redskins played him in obvious pass situations -- the same thing they did vs. Philadelphia.

"If they have me block, I'll do my best to block," Reed said. "I'll do whatever they choose to put me at. It's up to them."

Others listed as questionable: End Chris Baker (ankle), running back Mack Brown (concussion), safety Will Blackmon (concussion/thumb), linebacker Ryan Kerrigan (knee), guard Shawn Lauvao (groin), center Spencer Long (concussion/stinger), tackle Ty Nsekhe (ankle), linebacker Martrell Spaight (shoulder) and center John Sullivan (illness).

The Redskins expect Lauvao and Long to start.
