Ravens expect Reed to return

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh reiterated his belief that free safety Ed Reed and wide receiver Derrick Mason will not retire.

Reed has said he's "50-50" on whether he'll return due to lingering injuries, including a nerve impingement that affects his neck and shoulder.
League sources and Reed's teammates have told National Football Post that Reed isn't planning to retire, barring a medical setback.

Mason is an unrestricted free agent, but the Ravens are expected to make him an offer to stay.

"I believe Ed’s going to play next year," Harbaugh said. "If he doesn’t, we’ll have to have a plan in place to move on. There’s no better leader, no better football player, no better guy on our team than Ed Reed. We need him back. He’s a huge part of our puzzle.
