Ravens optimistic Ed Reed will return in 2011

Coach John Harbaugh is optimistic that Ed Reed will return for a 10th NFL season in 2011.

"He's told me '- I don't think he'd mind me saying this -' he wants to play football," said Harbaugh. "Ed's got a chance this offseason to be healthier than he's ever been going into a season ... I don't want to speak for him. He'll have to tell you all that, but I think Ed's going to have a great year next year." Reed talked about walking away after the 2009 season, but he's not nearly as banged up this year. The 32-year-old, signed through 2012, is still playing at an All-Pro level.
