Westminster, MD -- (Sports Network) - The Baltimore Ravens will start Troy Smith at quarterback in the second preseason tuneup against the Minnesota Vikings August 16.

Smith will supplant Kyle Boller, who was an efficient 11-of-15 for 102 yards as Baltimore slipped past New England, 16-15, Thursday night. Smith was 5- of-12 for 74 yards against the Patriots while Boller threw an interception and lost a fumble.

Rookie quarterback Joe Flacco is also expected to be in the mix and head coach John Harbaugh indicated Flacco could start one of the remaining two preseason games.

Smith saw action in four games last season, including two starts, completing 40-of-76 pass attempts for 452 yards and two touchdowns without recording an interception. The second-year player's mobility could be a factor in winning the starter's job as he also ran for a touchdown, gaining 54 yards on a dozen rushes.
