Ed Reed feels healthy heading into training camp

A year ago at this time Ed Reed limped around his football camp and spoke with uncertainty about when he would start the season.

These days, the only question on the mind of the Ravens safety is the one fans have wondered about all summer: When will the lockout end?

A year ago at this time Ed Reed limped around his football camp and spoke with uncertainty about when he would start the season.

These days, the only question on the mind of the Ravens safety is the one fans have wondered about all summer: When will the lockout end?Enjoying a surgery-free offseason, Reed declared himself "full go" for training camp Wednesday, although he hopes the Ravens will "be smart" with his reps this summer.

"I'm feeling fine," Reed said during his second Baltimore-area football camp. "I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't do the things that training camp requires because of longevity of my career and my life. After not going through training camp with the physical abuse of last year and playing the way I played, I would hope Coach [John Harbaugh] would be smart about how they handle me. I don't think I have much to prove during training camp but it is the time to get in shape."

Reed is coming off perhaps the most rewarding season of his illustrious career. He led the NFL with eight interceptions despite missing the first six games because of offseason hip surgery.

During his camp at Franklin High School on Wednesday, Reed looked strong and smooth while running drills with the kids.

But the seven-time Pro Bowl player said he still isn't fully recovered from the injury.

"I'm still rehabbing it," he said. "It's going to be a life-long thing you deal with. I'm not going to live in the past and the things I went through last year. I feel good for right now."
