It would reportedly take a "miraculous recovery" for FS Ed Reed (shoulder) to be ready for Baltimore's season opener.
Reed is a bit overrated, but the voice of Baltimore's secondary and a three time All Pro, so this helps Carson Palmer's matchup. Special teamer Jim Leonhard will start. Cincy's passing game should kick off with a bang.

Always liked Leonhard, but I'm glad to say he's not talented enough to be on the Bills' roster these days.
Rotoworld is not a bad site....
its better than ESPN...

Since I discovered RotoWOrld, I have stopped going to ESPN's site. Maybe if Mortenson resigns, then I'll go back 
Make that, per the Baltimore Sun:
I liked Leonhard's grittiness, and he made some plays while he was here ... but hard work only takes you so far.

New Ravens jump right in
Washington, Leonhard might be key to banged-up secondary
By Ken Murray
August 27, 2008
Jim Leonhard wanted the chance to play in Rex Ryan's defensive system. Fabian Washington wanted the chance to play anywhere other than Oakland.
Together, they are starting over in the Ravens' secondary, perhaps just in the nick of time.
In a daily battle against attrition this summer, Ryan, the Ravens' defensive coordinator, has yet to put his projected starting secondary on the field because of injuries. With the season opener just 11 days away, Leonhard and Washington could become key figures in any potential makeover.
Leonhard spent three seasons with the Buffalo Bills as a solid special teams player and reserve safety who figured to fill the same role here. But when Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed showed up at camp with a shoulder injury, Leonhard's role kept growing.
Unless Reed makes a miraculous recovery before Sept.7, it's likely Leonhard will start at free safety.

Jim Leonhard is a good substitute on a strong defense but a weak one on a weak one so how well he does depends on rest of defense.
Aye Yi Yi. Things is desperate in that there Baltimore. 
I always liked Leonhard, I hope he does well over there in Baltimore. Good luck.
Apparently, according to Madden 09, he had a skin pigment change.
To those who haven't seen, he's the #1 FS Free Agent in the game, and he's black.
Good for him, though, I liked the guy, hope he does well.

He's got the reverse of that Michael Jackson disease.

Leonard was decent in coverage and sometimes got some good picks but the Bills found better talent decent backup and special teamer but not an everyday starter

good for Jim Leonhard. I hope he does well, unless he has to play against Buffalo.

Spending too much time in the tanning bed isn't good for you.
Leonhard is probably a stopgap at safety, but is getting a long look at punt catching. Zbikowski and Nakamura have supposedly been good for the Ravens... If either of them gets cut, I'm sure they'd be an improvement over Scott et al.
