Linebacker Sergio Kindle finally will make his debut for the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, *The Baltimore Sun* reported.
Defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano said Kindle will play in the Ravens' sub defense and in pass-rush situations.
"We want to get him out there, put him on the edge and let him go," Pagano said.
Cornerback Jimmy Smith, the Ravens' first-round pick in April, might play despite a nagging groin injury. Smith missed four practices because of the ailment before going through a portion of Saturday's and Monday's workouts.
"We're being pretty cautious with him still," Pagano said. "He jumped in there [Monday] and did a little bit of special teams and he got a few reps here and there. But we're making sure we don't push him too hard and he has another setback."
