WNST radio in Baltimore today reported that Ed Reed is totally f*cked experiencing some very serious health problems, specifically a nerve impingement in both his shoulder and neck.
The neck is an especially important body part. Trust me. I know what I'm talking about. I watched Doogie Howser, M.D. like every day when I was a kid.
Reed hopes to avoid surgery, because if he goes under the knife, he is kissing his career goodbye.
Reed: “If I had surgery now, you all would not be interviewing me ever again. If I had surgery, I would not be playing anymore.”
He has traveled to at least four states for treatment: North Carolina, Michigan, New Jersey and Florida. Presumably he's also been treated in Maryland. Reed admits that the injury will never go away, but that there are some things he can do to mitigate the problems.
Regardless of how this all shakes out, this is terrible news for Reed and the Ravens, and the good folks here at Blogimore (i.e. me) wish Fast Eddie nothing but the best. Stay healthy, homey. Don't be on the field if it's a risk to your long-term health. Do what you gotta do, and... ah, who the hell am I kidding. Ed Reed doesn't read blogs.

I have a bad feeling that means that the remedy is a cervical fusion, where they remove the disk separating two vertebrae and fuse the gap with a iliac graft. That's what ended Sterling Sharpe's career.
what he ^ said.
I'm a Bengals fan - but this sux. Ed Reed is a beast and this is a shame for him.
