HOUSTON -- Safety Ed Reed isnt making any promises that hell be ready to go Sept. 9 against San Diego. Houstons biggest off-season acquisition spoke publicly Tuesday for the first time since he started training camp on the physically unable to perform list after surgery to repair a partly torn labrum on April 30. "I can tell you that it is close, but I cant say that it is the first game because I dont know," Reed said. Texans receiver Andre Johnson said last week that Reed told him he planned to play in Week 1. Reed joked a bit when asked about those comments on Tuesday, "I guess Ive got to do it," he said with a laugh. "This is his team." The 34-year-old Reed spent his entire 11-year career with the Ravens before joining the Texans in March. He said he still feels "tightness and soreness" constantly in his hip and that hell know more about when he can play once he progresses past those problems. "Once I get that out, I can kind of push it more," he said. "Im not to the point where I can run 100 per cent." However, he is doing a lot of work as part of his rehabilitation including, pulling a sled, backpedaling and working on starting and stopping. "Im opening the hip up and stuff like that, but at some point it kind of grabs," he said. "So Ive just got to get that scar tissue out and that edema out and everything. Once that that subsides, I can have a better timeline." With a career that many believe will culminate in the Hall of Fame, coach Gary Kubiak and the Texans arent worried about Reed sitting out the entire preseason. They know that hell be prepared to step in and contribute as soon as hes healthy. "Im impressed with where hes at," Kubiak said. "Were going to listen to him. Hes been through this before. Im not concerned about him being ready for a preseason game. Right now, were trying to get him ready for our season, so were going to listen to him." While hes unable to practice, Reed has assumed the role of an extra coach for Houstons secondary. Many of the players idolized Reed growing up and are eager to soak in everything he has to say. Rookie second-round pick D.J. Swearinger has watched video of Reed before each of his games since he was in high school. Swearinger, who could fill in for Reed if he isnt ready for the opener, raved about all the veteran has taught him so far. "Just being a pro about everything, on the field and off the field," Swearinger said. "Learning the full defence, it will help you a lot as safety because we are the quarterbacks on the defence. Off the field, you have to handle yourself as a pro no matter what -- all eyes on you." Reeds enjoyed providing tips his younger teammates and helping them improve. However, he feels a little strange about it because hes not able to be on the field to work with them. "You cant be out there with your teammates moving around, communicating and its a little tougher," he said. "Just talking in the meeting rooms and learning it just from a book standpoint and not physically doing it, its always tougher. But Im doing as much as I can to learn it mentally and watch the guys move around and communicate in meeting rooms. Its coming along well."Chuma Edoga Jersey .

Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best performances. This is where we say, Morning, Joe.Carey-ing the Habs: It makes you wonder how the Montreal Canadiens would have fared last season if goaltender Carey Price hadnt sustained a season-ending knee injury last November. Without Price, the Canadiens imploded and finished sixth in the Atlantic Division with a 38-38-6 record. Well, Montreal is playing terrific hockey to begin this season (5-0-1), and goaltending has led the way. After missing the first three games because of the flu, Price returned to the lineup and has played the past three games. On Monday, he made 31 saves en route to a 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Its incredible to see how much confidence a team has when it has the worlds best goaltender in net. Yes, Al Montoya was solid (2-0-1) during the first three games, but Price brings an entirely different level when hes healthy and productive. Case in point: During the waning minutes against the Flyers, Montreal had a 2-1 lead when Price made a huge pad save to secure the one-goal advantage before the Canadiens added an empty-net goal at the other end of the ice. Also for the Habs, keep an eye on Alexander Radulov. The 30-year-old forward returned to the NHL this season from the KHL, and hes already having a significant impact for the Canadiens. He scored the empty-net goal and added two assists Monday to help Montreal extend its winning streak to four games. He has two goals and three assists for five points in six games this season.Elliott delivers: We also saw outstanding goaltending for both the Chicago Blackhawks Corey Crawford and the Calgary Flames Brian Elliott. With the game knotted at 2-2 after regulation and OT, both goalies were perfect in the shootouut until the Flames Kris Versteeg scored in the seventh round for a 3-2 victory.dddddddddddd Elliott, who entered the game with a 0-3-0 record, with a 4.72 goals-against average and an .839 save percentage, was outstanding late in the game, including six saves in OT. He finished with 31 saves in his best start for the Flames since Calgary acquired him from the St. Louis Blues in June. This is why the Flames needed a goalie like Elliott, and he finally produced. This could be the type of performance that gets him rolling. Crawford, who finished with 29 saves, is 1-3-1 this season.Crease crisis: And keeping with the goaltender theme, a couple of teams are dealing with injuries between the pipes. The Los Angeles Kings are without both starter Jonathan Quick and backup Jeff Zatkoff because of injuries. Quick sustained a groin injury in the season opener and hes expected to miss three months. Zatkoff sustained a groin injury during the morning skate Saturday and was also placed on injured reserve. For now, the Kings will rely on Peter Budaj and Jack Campbell, but its likely general manager Dean Lombardi will attempt to acquire a goalie via trade. In Boston, the Bruins are also dealing with injury woes to their masked men. Veteran No. 1 Tuukka Rask sustained an undisclosed injury in a game against the New Jersey Devils last Thursday and has not played or practiced since. On Monday, backup Anton Khudobin sustained an injury to his right arm during practice and did not return. He had X-rays taken in the afternoon, and his status is unclear as the Bruins prepare to host the Minnesota Wild Tuesday night at TD Garden. Boston recalled goalie Malcolm Subban from Providence of the AHL. ' ' '
