AFC Notes: Bengals, Jaguars, Patriots, Texans

Bengals

  • A ruling regarding Bengals QB A.J. McCarron‘s free agent status is scheduled for this Thursday.
  • McCarron is trying to become an unrestricted free agent and is challenging the Bengalsโ€™ decision to place him on the NFI list during his rookie season, which prevented him from getting the necessary amount of accrued service to become an unrestricted free agent.
  • Should McCarron lose his grievance, the Bengals would likely place a second-round restricted tender on him in the coming weeks.

Jaguars

  • The Jacksonville Jaguars announced Monday that they will wear new uniforms and helmets for the upcoming 2018 season.
  • According to the Jaguars, the final design will be unveiled later this spring.

Patriots

Texans

  • Former Duke assistant coach Matt O’Donnell has joined the Texans’ coaching staff as a defensive assistant. (Aaron Wilson)
