Ravens safety Ed Reed says he's only 35 percent recovered from hip surgery.
That means he may not be ready for the start of the regular season.
"It's a long, slow process," Reed said. "I want to come back. I want to be ready for the first game but I don't know how soon that would happen, how soon I would be back. You know, we're gonna continue to do the things to try and get back and at least play this year for the fans, man, cause they've been hounding me, man.
"They've been asking me, 'Are you gonna play? Are you coming back? I would love to see you play at least one more year.' So, hopefully, we got at least one more in us."
