Ravens rookie Kindle to miss camp due to head injury

Football Betting Lines

07/26/2010 - Owings Mills, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker Sergio Kindle will miss all of training camp after suffering injuries to his head when he apparently fell down two flights of stairs at a private residence in Austin, Texas.

The Ravens released a statement last Sunday saying Kindle was stable and being treated for a fractured skull at University Medical Center Brackenridge.

Kindle, who was the Ravens' first overall pick in the second round in April's draft, was to report to McDaniel College with Baltimore's other rookies on Monday. He is the only rookie yet to sign with the club.

Taken with the 43rd pick out of Texas, Kindle was the first player ever to be named as a finalist for both the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker and Hendricks Award as the nation's top defensive end in 2009 after splitting time at both positions for the Longhorns.

Kindle recorded 70 tackles, 22 of those for a loss, 5 1/2 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles as a senior.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.
