Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed is “not 100% committed to playing in 2012, according to Sirus XM’s Adam Schein.

In April Reed said in a radio interview with 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore that he wanted to play in 2012 but that nothing was etched in stone.

“I plan on playing,” Reed said in April. “Everybody in the world knows plans can change.”

Last season, Reed had 85 tackles and five interceptions, en route to helping Baltimore reach the AFC Championship game. Over the course of his career, he has 57 interceptions, six of which he has returned for touchdowns. The 33-year-old has played his entire career with the Ravens.

DeCosta, 41, decided to stay with the Ravens this offseason after being one of the most sought-after general manager candidates in the NFL. It’s unknown when Newsome (who turned 56 in March) plans to step down, but the team apparently has his replacement now in place.

“When we extended Eric’s contract earlier this year, we changed his title to assistant GM,” Newsome said in a statement released by the team. “As Eric continues to grow in the personnel department, he is becoming a vital part of the decision-making process.”

The Ravens apparently had enough of other organizations poaching their talent evaluators. Baltimore had previously lost three members of its personnel department over the years. Phil Savage and George Kokinis both became general managers for the Cleveland Browns, and James Harris became the top decision-maker for the Jacksonville Jaguars. All failed to live up to expectations with their new teams.

But, unlike those other situations, Baltimore decided to make a commitment with DeCosta, who began as a player personnel assistant in the team’s first year of existence in 1996. He worked his way up through the organization and became the team’s director of player personnel in January 2009.

DeCosta showed his loyalty in 2009 when he pulled his name out of the Seattle Seahawks’ general manager search. But he truly showed his commitment to the Ravens when he decided to stay this offseason. Three teams (the Colts, Rams and Bears) reportedly requested permission to speak to DeCosta.

Newsome, the only general manager in the Ravens’ history, has never publicly said when he would step down, although owner Steve Bisciotti made it clear that it’s Newsome’s call.

In other moves announced by the Ravens, Joe Douglas has been elevated to national scout and David Blackburn has been promoted to an area scout.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs had successful surgery on his Achilles’ tendon, general manager Ozzie Newsome said in a statement Tuesday.

Suggs, 29, partially tore the tendon working out last week in Arizona, where he makes his offseason home, putting the Pro Bowler’s availability for the 2012 season in doubt.

Dr. Bob Anderson performed the surgery in Charlotte, N.C., where Suggs will rehabilitate.

“We know he will work hard to get back on the field with his teammates as soon as the doctors and trainers allow,” Newsome said. “We’re confident that he can make a full recovery.”

It’s not known when he will be able to suit up this year, but Suggs said he could be back by midseason after the injury happened. Achilles injuries often require many months of recuperation.

Suggs said he became aware of the injury during a “stop-and-go” exercise.

The Ravens are expected to line up second-round pick Courtney Upshaw at Suggs’ rush linebacker spot and have Paul Kruger take over at strongside linebacker, Jarret Johnson’s former position.

Suggs, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, told the Carroll County Times that he was doing “sweet, marvelous” after the surgery, saying he got good news but did not elaborate.

The nine-year veteran has been voted to five Pro Bowls and is the Ravens’ all-time sack leader with 82.5.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Cary Williams, the last of the team’s remaining restricted free agents, has signed his second-round franchise tender worth $1.972 million.

The Ravens tweeted the Williams signing on Monday.

Williams recently underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum on Feb. 15, and told the Ravens’ official website there hadn’t been talk of a long-term extension since the draft.

“Hopefully we’ll get back to the table,” Williams said. “But right now I just want to rehab and make sure my hip is right and that I can play at a high level. Contract talks can go from there. I just want to make sure that I can play for the Ravens this season.”

Williams played through injury during the final seven games of the Ravens’ season after getting hurt in Week 10 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. Williams said he’s at about 80 percent right now, but he expects to be fully recovered in time for the team’s minicamp, which starts June 11.

“That’s already set in stone,” Williams said. “I’m eager to get out there and run with the guys. My body is saying, ‘Yeah, it’s that time.’ But I just can’t. I’m just trying to stay within the limits and take it slow.”

The five-year veteran started all 16 games for the Ravens this past season, during which he collected 78 tackles and forced two fumbles.

Baltimore also signed nose tackle Ryan McBean, who will miss the first six games of the season due to a suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

The Baltimore Ravens have signed suspended free-agent nose tackle Ryan McBean, the team said Monday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

McBean was suspended for six games by the NFL in March for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

But two sources familiar with the case told the Denver Post that McBean’s suspension was reduced to three games in exchange for the lineman agreeing to drop a lawsuit against the NFL. In the lawsuit, McBean had accused the league of not following proper testing procedures and mishandling his urine sample.

McBean played the past three seasons for the Denver Broncos, recording 77 tackles and four sacks in 46 games.

The six-year veteran was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth round of the 2007 draft.

The Ravens signed veteran defensive lineman Ma’ake Kemoeatu to a one-year deal last week.

Free-agent wide receiver Jacoby Jones is currently visiting the Baltimore Ravens, according to a team source.

Jones, who was released by the Houston Texans last week, arrived in Baltimore on Sunday. Earlier last week he visited with the Carolina Panthers.

Jones caught 31 passes for 512 yards last season in his fifth year with the Texans.

Jones’ visit with the Ravens comes four days after the team’s director of player personnel, Eric DeCosta, said that the team was “happy with the receivers we have on the roster.”

On Friday, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh made his first public comments about Terrell Suggs’ torn Achilles, saying the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year would return to form after rehab.

“He will be OK, Terrell Suggs will be fine,” Harbaugh told WJZ-TV in Baltimore, according to the Baltimore Sun.

“He will be back. He will go to work on that rehab like no other. He will continue to be a huge part of what we are doing, continue to be a leader and then the young guys will step up. They will step forward, and you are a football team first, you are a team, team is not one guy.”

Harbaugh also said he learned about the injury on a phone call from Suggs.

“My heart went out to Terrell because he was so down about it. It was so hard for him to actually spit out what had happened. He didn’t want to tell me because he felt so bad about it. Once we got past that, then I felt bad about it. Once I got past feeling bad about how he felt bad about it, then I felt bad about it.

“We are going to be fine. I got a chance to talk to Ray and a lot of the players and you move forward. That’s what it’s all about. You just move forward and the next guy steps in.”

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens star linebacker and former Arizona State standout Terrell Suggs will have surgery for a partially torn Achilles tendon, an injury he insists will not keep him sidelined for the entire 2012 season.

The injury occurred in Arizona while Suggs was practicing for an upcoming conditioning test, he said Thursday in a text message.

Suggs initially thought it was a sprain but a doctor determined that it was a partial tear, he said.

The Ravens issued a statement Thursday saying: “We are in contact with Terrell. He will see a specialist early next week, and we’ll know more at that time.”

General manager Ozzie Newsome did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press.

Suggs, the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2011, is expected to have surgery as soon as next week. A torn Achilles tendon usually requires a lengthy rehabilitation program, but Suggs has no intention of sitting out the year.

Asked if he will play in 2012, he responded, “”Absolutely,” and projected his return to occur in late October or November.

The injury is a major blow to a stout defense that also features linebacker Ray Lewis, safety Ed Reed and tackle Haloti Ngata. Suggs had 14 sacks last season, forced a franchise-record seven fumbles and received his fifth Pro Bowl invitation in helping the Ravens win the AFC North with a 12-4 record.

Suggs has played nine seasons for Baltimore and has missed only three games, in 2009 with a knee injury. In six of those nine years he started every game and is the Ravens career sack leader with 82 1/2.

Barring a trade or a free agent signing, the Ravens will probably rely on Paul Kruger and top draft pick Courtney Upshaw to provide outside pressure on opposing quarterbacks in 2012. Kruger had 5 1/2 sacks last season and Upshaw amassed 9 1/2 sacks for Alabama in 2011.
