Ravens expect Ed Reed to be fine

Ravens safety Ed Reed injured his ribs while returning an interception on Sunday.  As explained by Edward Lee of the Baltimore Sun, it happened after Reed made the pick, ran with it, and considered trying to lateral the ball.

He didn’t make the pitch, but while Reed paused to ponder the possibility he was hit by Bengals running back Cedric Peerman.

With 1,438 career interception return yards, Reed is only 45 yards behind all-time leader Rod Woodson, who retired with 1,483.

Though Reed was sketchy about his status after Sunday’s game (including whether it was a rib or a muscle injury), we’re told that the team expects him to be fine for Sunday’s playoff game against the Chiefs.

“Yeah, I think that’s when I got hurt,” Reed said. “I was saying to myself coming into the game, ‘No more lateraling.’ But it happens sometimes.”
Meanwhile, we’ve recently discovered that Reed currently has no agent.  Greg Genske negotiated Reed’s contract, which runs through the 2012 season.  But by all appearances the veteran Pro Bowler presently is handling his business with the team on his own.
