AFC Notes: Myles Garrett, Lamar Jackson, Bengals, Browns, Ravens

Bengals

  • Jordan Schultz reports that if the Bengals continue to win during the absence of QB Joe Burrow, they will likely look to add a player at the deadline instead of trading DE Trey Hendrickson.
  • Schultz notes that the Bengals are still not shopping Hendrickson ahead of the deadline.

Browns

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said he believes in HC Kevin Stefanskiโ€™s ability to lead the locker room going forward. He also specifically referenced that Stefanski had a tough break with the team’s trade for QB Deshaun Watson.

โ€œKevinโ€™s done a really good job with us, and we’ve had some tough breaks,โ€ Haslam said, via Dianna Russini of The Athletic. “A big trade we made didn’t work out, and you know, we’re all suffering from that. Kevin, I thought, did a great job of rallying the troops last week at a really critical time.”

  • Stefanski said after the loss to New England that the team would stick with Gabriel as the starter following the bye week.
  • Browns DE Myles Garrett broke his own team record with five sacks against the Patriots on Sunday.
  • He also passed Hall of Fame DE Reggie White for the most sacks by a player under 30 and joined White and DT John Randle as the only players with ten sacks in eight consecutive seasons.
  • The Browns ruled out veteran S Rayshawn Jenkins late in the game due to a groin injury, as well as RB Quinshon Judkins due to a shoulder injury.

Ravens

  • Ravens HC John Harbaugh said heโ€™s not involved in the injury designations and admitted that the team made an honest mistake with the designation of QB Lamar Jackson. (Jeff Zrebiec)
  • Harbaugh added that they remain hopeful Jackson will return to play on Thursday.
