AFC North Notes: Browns, Ravens, Steelers

Browns

  • The Browns waived WR C.J. Board and LB Justin Currie from injured reserve.
  • Howard Balzer reports that the Browns brought in LB Treโ€™von Johnson for a tryout on Monday.

Ravens

The Ravens were able to get rookie QB Lamar Jackson a few opportunities during Sundayโ€™s win over the Bills.
Jackson says that the team plans to use him to keep opposing defenses off guessing.
โ€œThey never know whatโ€™s going to happen,โ€ Jackson said, via ESPN.com. โ€œYeah, it keeps the defense guessing.โ€
Ravens HC John Harbaugh said that theyโ€™re hoping to see more production from Jacksonโ€™s reps moving forward.
โ€œWell, we wanted to establish him as a threat quickly, not a possible threat. We wanted him to go out there and make plays, and generate plays for us,โ€ Harbaugh said. โ€œThe whole idea is to generate offense. I guess a side benefit of it is that people have to prepare for certain things. Of course, thatโ€™s part of it. Iโ€™m not going to say thatโ€™s not part of it. But really, the idea is to move the football and create plays, and like we said from the beginning, use all weapons. Thatโ€™s what weโ€™re trying to do with all of our guys really, and Lamar is one of those guys.โ€
