Sergio Kindle's first training camp practice for the Ravens appeared to be a successful one.

The outside linebacker, who missed his entire rookie season with a head injury, looked sleek and fast and impressed coach John Harbaugh at the team's facility in Owings Mills on Thursday."I think it's great for him as a person," Harbaugh said after practice. "That's the No. 1 thing, to see what he's overcome and to be out there. He looked good. So, obviously, it's one step. I'm just happy for him. He had joy written all over his face. He was even smiling during the conditioning test, he was so happy to be here. He practiced well. So it's going to be fun to see how he progresses. We've got high hopes for him right now."
The coaches and players aren't the only ones who share that view. Ever since the club chose Kindle with its top pick of the 2010 draft, fans have been eager for a glimpse of the size and athleticism that branded the former University of Texas standout as the draft's top 3-4 outside linebacker in a poll of 17 NFL scouts by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

But Kindle, who was selected in the second round, fell down two flights of stairs at a friend's house on July 22 of last year, sustaining a hairline fracture in his skull. He sat out the season, and his future with the Ravens was in doubt.

But his rehabilitation progressed nicely, and Kindle worked during the offseason at a performance facility in Dallas. If he can impress the coaches enough to earn playing time, Kindle could bolster a pass rush that registered a franchise-low 27 sacks last season.

Kindle was not made available to the media after practice Thursday, but inside linebacker Ray Lewis said he was encouraged by Kindle's presence.

"To see him out there running around, and to see the smile on his face just to be back on a football field, there's just nothing more rewarding just being around him," the 12-time Pro Bowler said.

Foxworth makes triumphant return

Like Kindle, Domonique Foxworth also returned to the football field for the first time in more than a year, and the cornerback did not appear to miss a step after sitting out last season with a knee injury.

Foxworth, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee the day before training camp opened last year, broke up three passes during one-on-one drills and did not require a brace or wrap around that knee.

"He didn't seem to be hesitant at all," Harbaugh said. "He seemed confident and looked strong, so that was a pleasant thing to see."
