AFC North Notes: Bengals, Browns, Ravens

Bengals

The Athleticโ€™s Paul Dehner Jr. has 12 spots up for grabs in his latest 53-man roster prediction, with 12 players on the right side of the bubble and 12 on the wrong side. 

Browns

  • According to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon-Journal, Browns G Eric Kush opened with the first team at right guard before giving way later in practice to OT Kendall Lamm
  • Browns HC Freddie Kitchens says the team is still evaluating kickers Greg Joseph and Austin Seibert, both who have struggled at times, but the team isnโ€™t looking to pull the plug on either yet: โ€œWeโ€™re not looking to replace them right now.โ€ (Scott Petrak)
  • Seibert, a rookie drafted in the fifth round, has been particularly shaky after being drafted to compete with the veteran Joseph, and Kitchens has noticed he tends to let his misses linger: โ€œHeโ€™s gotta get it figured out. If I make him nervousโ€ฆ.Iโ€™m going to be at the gamesโ€ (Mary Kay Cabot)
  • Browns S Jermaine Whitehead did not practice Monday with a groin injury. (Ulrich)

Ravens

  • The Athleticโ€™s Jeff Zrebiec says DL Zach Sieler and Gerald Willis have likely moved to the wrong side of the roster bubble following their limited appearances in the Week 2 preseason game. 
  • Ravens CB Tavon Young is still deciding if he will have surgery on a disc issue in his neck, which would sideline him for the entire season. If not, Young could be a candidate for a return from injured reserve. 
  • Zrebiec notes the Ravens will be paying attention to the Eagles backup offensive linemen to try and shore up their left guard spot, including G Stefen Wisniewski in particular. 
  • Ravens first-round WR Marquise Brown saw his first action against a different NFL team in joint practices with the Eagles Monday and did solid according to HC John Harbaugh: โ€œI saw I guy that was practicing for the first time. Weโ€™ll see it on tape. He just needs to get accustomed to the โ€ฆ speed of it, the thinking, the lining up.โ€ (Aaron Kasinitz
