AFC Notes: Bengals, Browns, Ravens, Steelers

Bengals

• ESPN’s Ben Baby lists right tackle as the biggest position battle on the team, with Bobby Hart battling to hold off Fred Johnson for the starting role. 
• Bengals WR Tyler Boyd said second-round WR Tee Higgins has had to sit out a few practices with an injury but the hope is for him to be back by Sunday. (Baby)
• The Bengals worked out DE Amani Bledsoe on Wednesday. (Howard Balzer)
• Bengals activated Renell Wren from the non-football injury list.

Browns

• ESPN’s Jake Trotter lists safety as the biggest position battle on the team, with second-round rookie Grant Delpit looking to unseat either veteran Andrew Sendejo or Karl Joseph for a starting job. 

Ravens

• ESPN’s Jamison Hensley lists right guard as the biggest position battle on the team, as a number of candidates including D.J. Fluker, Patrick Mekari, Ben Powers and third and fourth-round rookies Tyre Phillips and Ben Bredeson compete to replace retired future Hall of Fame G Marshal Yanda.

Steelers

• ESPN’s Brooke Pryor lists right tackle as the biggest position battle on the team, as Chukwuma Okorafor and Zach Banner compete for the starting gig.
• Pryor notes former Steelers starting RT Matt Feiler is moving to left guard at least to start given he’s more familiar with the scheme than free-agent pickup OL Stefen Wisniewski.
• Steelers RBs coach Eddie Faulkner mentioned that the offense has “something up our sleeves in the run game” with James Conner. (Mark Kaboly)
