AFC Notes: Bills, Browns, Dolphins, Ravens

Bills

Bills LB Reggie Ragland explained that he can’t get caught up in the trade talk about him and instead plans to focus on doing his job.

“I’m here where I’m supposed to be right now with the Bills,” Ragland said, via the Buffalo News. “I can’t worry about no trade talk or none of that. I’m worried about what’s going on right now.”

“I’ve got to keep getting better,” Ragland added. “That don’t bother me. God going to put me where he need me to be. Right now I’m with the Buffalo Bills and I’m happy to be.”

Browns

Browns HC Hue Jackson announced Wednesday morning that rookie QB DeShone Kizer will be their starter for the team’s third preseason game.

“This morning, I informed our quarterbacks that DeShone will be our starter for the third preseason game against Tampa,” Jackson said. “He has made a lot of progress by investing the time necessary to learn our offense, working hard to improve on his fundamentals while also effectively moving the offense in preseason games. Development is so important for a young quarterback, this is the next step he needs to take and he deserves this opportunity. We are very excited about seeing DeShone in the role of starter for this week, as he is certainly positioning himself well to earn the starting job heading into the regular season.

“Much like DeShone, Brock, Cody and Kevin have worked extremely hard throughout training camp and have helped create a very supportive environment in our quarterback room. They’ve pushed each other, worked well together and we expect that to continue.”

Adam Schefter reports that Brock Osweiler is not expected to play in the team’s preseason game this week.

Dolphins

• According to Armando Salguero, the Dolphins have no interest in a trade for Eagles LB Mychal Kendricks.

Ravens

• Jeff Zrebiec reports that Ravens RB Danny Woodhead has been sidelined at practice this week with a hamstring injury.
• Zrebiec isn’t sure if Woodhead will play in either of the Ravens’ final two preseason games and wonders if this could impact his Week 1 status.
