Ed Reed Commits to Personal Training Camp

Baltimore Ravens all-pro safety Ed Reed will not participate during Monday’s game against the Jets because he is on the Physically Unable to Perform list, but Reed believes that he could have played at the expense of long term injury.

“I felt good enough to play, but I don’t know if I’d have lasted the whole season,” Reed said Thursday. “That’s that problem. We had so many guys working out hard all offseason and during training camp.  I haven’t been through training camp.”

In order to make up for the time that he has lost, Reed has committed himself to enduring a personal training camp.

“I wouldn’t be doing those guys justice if I came back not having been through that grueling type of work, so I have to take these six weeks to put myself through it.”

Reed is famous for his meticulous film study and he has not taken time off from doing that. In addition, he has been conditioning with Ravens trainers on a side field, lifting weights, and using resistance bands to strengthen his injured hip.

“I know why I’m on the PUP,” said Reed.  “There aren’t any negative feelings.  I have to get right for the team, however long that takes.  I have to take that time. I know we’re going to battle through and be a lot better than people think, with or without me, because I know the guys we have on this team.

“So, I’m good with it, but I’m not good with it because I want to be out there.”
