Safety Ed Reed of the Baltimore Ravens has been suspended without pay for one game for repeated violations of the rule prohibiting hits to the head and neck area of defenseless players. The suspension was imposed by NFL Vice President of Football Operations Merton Hanks. Reed may not practice this week nor play in the Ravens' game this Sunday against the San Diego Chargers. He may not be at the team practice facility or stadium for any other activities during the suspension. Reed was penalized for unnecessary roughness in the third quarter of Sunday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers for a hit to the head and neck area of a defenseless receiver, Emmanuel Sanders.

hes not going to change the way he plays the game i just hope he doesnt get suspended again for longer
I'm all for any Raven being suspended and I realize that Reed is being suspended for his whole portfolio...however, that hit on Sanders shouldn't be the one that puts it over the top.
per facebook Adam Schefter Ted Cottrell reduced Ed Reed's one-game suspension to only a $50,000 fine. Wow...
