| Ravens Rookie LB Paul Kruger To Start For Terrell Suggs | | |
Ravens rookie Paul Kruger will make his first NFL start Sunday against the undefeated Indianapolis Colts at M&T Bank Stadium. “I think a lot of players go through that when you don’t play at first,” Kruger said. “You start to question different things. Why aren’t you playing? Are you as good as you thought you were? I’m a pretty confident guy. I never really lost sight of that, but you do have to question: What are the things you’re doing or not doing?" It’s a promotion created by Suggs’ sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee that could sideline him for at least a few weeks. Signed to a four-year, $3.25 million contract in July, Kruger is eager to display the potential the Ravens saw in him when they made drafted him out of the University of Utah and compared his intensity to gritty former Ravens defensive end Michael McCrary. “That’s why I’m here,” Kruger said. “That’s why I’m on this team, to be effective and make plays and be able to contribute. I feel a huge responsibility and a lot of pressure to play well. I want to live up to those guys’ expectations. This is what I love to do. I came here to play. I didn’t come here just to practice. It’s going to be a good opportunity.”
