Ed Reed - Not Looking Good

[camdenyard]

Todd Heap had a charity function tonite and Ed was supposed to be there to receive an honor. He didn't show up because (according to Todd who told some people) "he can't stand, sit or lay down - he's in a lot of pain".

I heard a rib injury, and though I haven't had one they can be a real bitch. That said, it is something you can shoot up, put a jacket on and play with and not risk much further injury.

I also heard they had to sit him for the rest of the game yesterday and he was ready to go back in.

There is absolutely no way Ed is not playing on Sunday. He is one of the toughest SOBs we have. Whether he is a liability or not could be argued but I am of the camp that if Ed Reed is breathing he needs to be on the field.

The story below states that Reed and Oher will play on Sunday:

There are a couple of things going on here.

I heard a rib injury, and though I haven't had one they can be a real bitch. That said, it is something you can shoot up, put a jacket on and play with and not risk much further injury.

That's one.

The other one is that Heap is not going to say "Ed's back was bugging him so he couldn't come." In the environment of a charity function where Reed was supposed to attend, Heap is protecting the reputation of his teammate better by making the injury more colorful rather than less so.

Obviously as players gather their inner reserves for the playoff run, a player who is too injured to go to a charity function may very well be healthy enough to play NFL football the following Sunday.

Yeah, one thing Ed has never been afraid of doing is playing through pain. Unless one of his ribs is sticking out of his chest, I would bet he'll be suiting up.

Hell, he might do that even if one of them is...

Doesn't really matter though, cause Ed is overrated over the hill and all his picks are luck. Id' take just about any safety in the league over him, hell even Nakamura should fill in just fine.

Yep, because that's what PSU said.

Reading comprehension... It's clearly fucking optional.

Come again?

He's saying you're completely misrepresenting the argument that I've been making about Reed, which you are.

Notice the ? Talk about lack of reading comprehension.

[psuasskicker]

Sorry. But FWIW, that sarcasm to me - and obviously at least one other - I think make your post read the exact opposite of what you intended.
