Ravens safety Ed Reed may sit out against the Bills this weekend. Reed is eligible to come off the physically unable to perform list in Week 7. The Baltimore Sun reported Friday that Reed "had a really good week" of practice according to coach John Harbaugh.

Ravens safety Ed Reed is set to return to the field on Sunday after missing the first six weeks of the season. Reed was placed on the physically unable to perform list in September so he could sufficiently recover from offseason hip surgery. In his first eight years in the league, Reed was named to six Pro Bowls, had 46 interceptions and scored 13 touchdowns.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the 49ers could put in a waiver claim on Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman. However, Schefter also reports that Merriman could prefer to land in Baltimore, Dallas or Miami.

Ravens running back Ray Rice will face the Patriots on Sunday despite missing time with a knee injury this week. Rice is officially listed as probable on Baltimore's injury report. Meanwhile, safety Ed Reed is eligible to come off the physically unable to perform list for Sunday's game.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh explained on Friday why the team didn't wear pink as the rest of the league did to raise breast cancer awareness. "In the past, shoe companies kind of pick and choose who they give the shoes to, and what ends up happening is, you've got some guys get to wear the shoes and some guys don't," he said. "We talked to our team about it during training camp. 'Is that an issue? Is that a problem? How would you rather do it?' And [we] came up with an option or two obviously, and we had an idea. The idea was basically, why don?t we just take the shoes and make sure everybody wears them, and you can do that for one game. So we'll make a strong statement in one game ? as a team, everybody together ? for the cause, which is a very worthy cause and which we believe in. And we'll all be doing it. That will be our statement rather than piecemealing it one week to the next with just a few guys that our selected."
