Reed: "It's still sore"

Speaking for the first time this camp with a group of local reporters, Ed Reed said he still hasn't fully recovered from a nerve impingement in his neck and shoulder, which bothered him throughout last season.

"It's still sore," Reed said. "It still is what it is at this point."

The Pro Bowl safety has looked healthier and more confident in his tackling ability than last year. After not playing in any preseason game last year, he has already played two series in the preseason opener this year.

Asked about the adjustment of playing with that soreness, Reed said: "Just got to be smarter. Thinking about my son and the longevity of life, that keeps you playing differently."
