Baltimore Ravens defensive end Paul Kruger indicated that he’s been informed that he’s going to play against the Steelers in what will mark his first playing time this season. “I know I’m going to play,†said Kruger, who intercepted a pass against the Steelers to help set up an overtime win last November. “I’ll be playing defensive end. I’m excited about it.†Kruger has been sidelined with a shoulder injury, a sprain suffered in the preseason finale. With Trevor Pryce no longer on the team and Redding sidelined, Kruger has taken snaps with the first-team defense this week. "He's a very important part of our defense," defensive coordinator Greg Mattison said. Drafted in the second round out of Utah, Kruger has bulked up 25 pounds since last season to make the transition from outside linebacker to defensive end. “I’m taking care of business,†Kruger said. “I’m out there and I’m going to let everything else fall into place. I want to be a reliable guy out on the field." Source: Yahoo! Sports
