Ravens to start Smith: 'He needs those reps'

[Newshound]

Troy Smith will be the Ravens starting quarterback for Saturday's preseason game against the St. Louis Rams, coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday.

The former Heisman Trophy winner may play as much as three quarters as the Ravens want to evaluate him as they try to determine who will be the QB in the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 7.

Former starter Kyle Boller is Smith's chief competition, yet he might not even play against the Rams.
