Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron says that David Reed still has a chance to beat out Torrey Smith for the No. 3 wideout job.

We're not really buying Cameron's coachspeak here. Smith has been running in all three-wide sets and is the vastly superior talent. Reed may not like it, but he's merely headed for a kick return role once again this season.

Ravens activated WR/KR David Reed (wrist) from the active/PUP list.

Reed is ready to go as the Ravens' primary kick returner. He led the league last year with a 29.3 yards-per-return average.

Ravens WR/KR David Reed underwent offseason surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist.

Last we heard from Reed in mid-January, he expected to avoid surgery. Still recovering, he's opened training camp on the active/PUP list. Reed won't be a factor on offense this season, but he did lead the NFL in kickoff return average as a rookie.

Ravens KR David Reed's marijuana possession case has been closed.

He didn't have to plead guilty and won't face discipline from the NFL. The case will be expunged so long as Reed stays out of the police blotter for the next three years. Reed led the NFL in kickoff return average last season.

Ravens KR David Reed has a February 23 court date stemming from a misdemeanor marijuana investigation in December.

Reed hasn't been charged with a crime. Rather, he was issued a summons. It's believed Reed has a good chance to eventually have his record expunged.

Ravens WR/KR David Reed is now saying he does not expect to have surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist.

Reed, who led the NFL in kickoff returns with a 29.3 yards per return average, has gone back and forth on this multiple times, so don't etch it in stone just yet. "I'm going to get it cast up in a few days," he said. "I've just got a little rash and am waiting for it to clear up. It's going to get casted up and we'll go from there. It could take about six weeks [before he can return to football."

Ravens WR/KR David Reed will have surgery soon to repair a torn ligament in his wrist.

Reed said last week that his wrist was feeling better and he hoped to avoid going under the knife, but he was inactive Saturday and has decided to go ahead and have the operation. The rookie was the league's top kickoff returner during the regular season.

Ravens declared KR David Reed, DLs Arthur Jones and Lamar Divens, S Tom Zbikowski, TE Davon Drew, TE Dennis Pitta, OG Bryan Mattison, and LB Jason Phillips inactive for the Divisional Round.

The league's top kickoff returner during the regular season in terms of average yards gained, Reed hasn't been able to overcome a late-year wrist injury. With Mattison down, the Ravens are confident in C Matt Birk's knee.

Ravens WR/KR David Reed (wrist) said he's feeling better and might not need surgery after all.

"It's not as stiff," said Reed. "It's still painful, but there's less pain..." Reed sat out his third consecutive game Sunday and seems unlikely to play this postseason despite feeling better. He was the league's leading kick returner during the regular season, averaging 29.3 yards per return.

Ravens WR/KR David Reed will reportedly need offseason surgery for a torn ligament in his wrist.

It sounds as though Reed's postseason will end before it even begins. The league's leading kick returner (29.3 yards per return) is signed for the next two seasons and should be healthy by the time preseason rolls along.

Ravens KR David Reed (concussion) said he'll be able to play in Week 16.

Reed suffered a concussion in the first quarter Sunday and admitted after the game to dealing with headaches, nausea and dizziness. It's clear he wants to be out there, but he'll have to pass concussion tests first in order to be cleared. Jalen Parmele will return kicks if he isn't ready.

Ravens KR David Reed left Sunday's game with a concussion.

Jalen Parmele has taken over on kickoff returns.

Ravens KR David Reed will play Monday night in Week 14.

Reed is being investigated by Baltimore Police about possible narcotics at his apartment. Said coach John Harbaugh, "It's not something that really affects his football status - certainly at this time. He'll have a chance to tell his side of it in a proper way when the time comes."

Ravens KR David Reed is being investigated by Baltimore Police about possible narcotics in his Owings Mills apartment.

No charges have been filed yet, and few details are known. "I'm good," Reed assured. "I ain't got nothing to say right now." If charged, and obviously if convicted, the rookie out of Utah could face discipline from the NFL.

Ravens special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg revealed that WR David Reed will return kickoffs this week.

Reed is averaging just 21.6 yards on five returns thus far. Punt returns have been a bigger problem, and Rosberg is still deciding among Lardarius Webb, Chris Carr, and Donte' Stallworth.

Ravens rookie WR David Reed is reportedly "dropping passes at an alarming rate" in training camp.

Reed was the star of no-contact spring practices. The Baltimore Sun suggests Reed's regression has occurred because his "head is swimming," but he was not known as a physical player at Utah. It may be more due to the switch over to full-padded work. He's not a great bet to make the roster.

Ravens agreed to terms with fifth-round WR David Reed on a three-year contract.

Reed made a fine impression at rookie camp in early May, creating separation with ease. While he profiles as a future slot receiver, he may have to nail down punt and/or kickoff return duties this summer to make the final roster as a rookie.

Ravens rookie WR David Reed will get a chance to compete for the punt returner job this summer.

Reed, who never returned punts at Utah, is already competing with Jalen Parmele for kickoff returns. Chris Carr is currently penciled in as a starting cornerback, so the Ravens will be looking for a replacement on punts.

Ravens fourth-round pick David Reed is expected to compete with Jalen Parmele for kickoff return duties.

Lardarius Webb would have probably kept the job, but he's coming off ACL surgery. Reed averaged 25.4 yards per return for Utah and may need to carve out a special teams role to make the roster.

Ravens selected Utah WR David Reed with the No. 156 overall pick in the 2010 draft.
