AFC North Notes: Bengals, Browns, Ravens, Steelers

Bengals

• With the Bengals likely to take a quarterback if they end up with the No. 1 overall pick, LSU’s Joe Burrow, Oregon’s Justin Herbert and Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa are the top options right now, per ESPN’s Ben Baby.
• The Bengals tried out CB Dee Delaney on Tuesday. (Howard Balzer)
• Bengals placed WR Auden Tate on injured reserve. (NFLTR)
• Bengals promoted WR Damion Willis to their active roster. 

Browns

• ESPN’s Jake Trotter identifies offensive line and safety as the Browns’ top two needs in the draft this offseason. 
• Trotter also expects the Browns to make another run at Redskins LT Trent Williams.

Ravens

• According to the Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, Ravens TE Mark Andrews has told people he’ll play Thursday against the Jets despite the short turnaround from suffering a knee injury on Sunday. 
• Zrebiec adds that given the increasing salary cap, the Ravens would likely have to give LB Matt Judon more than the $16.5 million a year they let LB Za’Darius Smith leave to get from the Packers last offseason.
• Acquiring a young edge rusher will be a top priority for Baltimore in the draft this year, per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. 

Steelers

• Per Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said WR JuJu Smith-Schuster and RB James Conner would return to practice this week. 
• Tomlin added he’d judge their potential availability this week based on their level of participation. 
• Steelers TE Vance McDonald is in the concussion protocol, while RB Jaylen Samuels is being evaluated for a groin injury. (Brooke Pryor)
