Veteran safety Ed Reed worked out at the Ravens team facility on Thursday, according to the Baltimore Sun.

According to the Ravens' Twitter feed, Reed was running sprints and doing drills at the facility, another sign that he plans to play this season.

Reed had skipped all of the Ravens' off-season work, but said at his charity golf tournament this week that he would play in 2012.

Part of Reed's absence in the off-season was speculated to be that he is unhappy with his contract situation as he enters the final year of his current deal.
