If the Ravens are going to beat the top-seeded Titans on Saturday, they’ll need safety Ed Reed to be on the field, and effective.
Though it’s too early to conclude that he won’t play, he didn’t practice on Wednesday, due to a knee injury.
Also missing practice for the Ravens were tight end Todd Heap (back) and receiver Derrick Mason (shouder).
Defensive tackle Justin Bannan (foot), linebacker Jarret Johnson (calf), cornerback Samari Rolle (thigh), and kicker Matt Stover (right ankle) were limited participants.
Linebacker Antwan Barnes has been ruled out with a chest injury.
For the home team in the first of the divisional round games to be played, defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth fully participated in practice, despite an MCL strain that knocked him out of the last two games of the regular-season.
Cornerback Nicholas Harper (groin), linebacker David Thornton (hip), and defensive Kyle Vanden Bosch (groin) also fully participated.
Defensive end Dave Ball (back) and center Kevin Mawae (elbow) did not practice. Mawae has said that he won’t be playing this weekend.
