Harbaugh updates injuries, looks forward to Reed's arrival

Ravens coach holds court on start of training camp

Beyond Suggs, the only current longer-term absences will likely be reserve tackle Jah Reid who re-strained his right calf, an injury he initially sustained at the veteran mandatory minicamp, and wide receiver/kick returner David Reed who tore an anterior cruciate ligament in a game last December. Harbaugh said that it would be a “huge upset” if Reed returned during training camp, but the coach said that the third-year receiver is progressing quickly.

The Ravens, who are a little more than $3 million under the salary cap, also continue to look for ways to augment their depth. Tuesday they brought in veteran guard Eric Steinbach, a former Cincinnati Bengal and Cleveland Brown who missed all of last season with a back injury, and several outside linebackers.

“It’s like we say every year, we’re always looking for players, we’re always looking to upgrade,” Harbaugh said. “If you have an opportunity where good players are available, we’re going to try and take a look at them. We’re going to try and make the roster better any way we can at any time. If we can create even better competition and put more good players in the mix with the kind of financial resources that we have, we always want to do that. Eric Steinbach is a heck of a player. I don’t know where we stand but we’re going to look for any good player we can at any time.”
