Free safety Ed Reed returned to practice today after sitting out Wednesday's session due to illness.

Linebacker Tavares Gooden, who also did not practice Wednesday because of a slight concussion, and offensive tackle Jared Gaither both practiced and wore red, non-contact jerseys. Gaither, who practiced fully Wednesday, has missed the past two games after suffering a scary neck injury in the second quarter of a 27-21 loss to the New England Patriots on Oct. 4.

Quarterback Joe Flacco (sprained right ankle), linebacker Jarret Johnson (left shoulder) and wide receiver David Tyree (hamstring) practiced.
