Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said no one should overreact to safety Ed Reed skipping the team's mandatory minicamp.
"People across the world never worry about minicamps or whatever," Lewis told Baltimore reporters Tuesday. "Whatever him and coach talked about, they talked about. I don't think it's an issue at all. Ed has other things going, a baby boy, and he's really trying to focus on things like that. Sometimes, life calls you away from the game. These three days won't take away from what Ed Reed's focus is, and that is to come back and help our defense be the best defense there is in football. I don't think it's an issue at all, not for us."
