Carroll County Times: Ravens WR Derrick Mason (dislocated left
shoulder) and free safety Ed Reed (knee) were held out of
practice. Mason is resigned to the fact that his shoulder will
hurt until the season is over when he might contemplate having
surgery to repair the damage. "This has been an injury that is
going to continue to hinder me in some ways, meaning that it's
always going to hurt until we're done playing in February," he
said. "I'll deal with that then. For this team, you're not
thinking about next year. You're thinking about the next play. I'd
better be able to put the pain aside for five minutes and finish
out the game. "Hopefully, I won't have to have surgery. I think
I'm truly blessed that it hasn't gotten any worse than it has.
It's not the shoulder now, it's more so the muscles. Actually, the
shoulder is fine. I'm not having any trouble with the shoulder."
