Ravens safety Ed Reed will play in Sunday’s AFC wild-card playoff game against the Chiefs. He has battled a rib injury and also dealt with the possible disappearance of his brother.
Pro Bowl DT Haloti Ngata (thigh) and LB Terrell Suggs (knee) also will suit up for the Ravens. They sat out Thursday’s practice and were limited Friday. Both were listed as questionable on the team’s final injury report.
The Ravens will play without David Reed (wrist), who averaged 29.3 yards on kickoff returns this season.
The Chiefs enter the game without any starters hobbled by injury, although veteran WR Chris Chambers was a healthy scratch. Chambers had 22 catches for 213 yards and one touchdown in 13 regular-season games.
