AFC Notes: Rashod Bateman, Mike Tomlin, Browns, Ravens, Steelers

Browns

  • NFL Networkโ€™s Ian Rapoport reports Browns assistant coach Callie Brownson is leaving Cleveland to join USA Football who selects and trains USAโ€™s National Flag Football Teams. 
  • Rapoport adds that Brownson will lead the operations for the teams going to the Olympics in 2028.

Ravens

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman is ready to step up as the teamโ€™s top receiver with WR Zay Flowers dealing with a knee injury.

โ€œThe situation that we have on our hands, it doesnโ€™t change anything about me and my role and what I got to do,โ€ Bateman said, via PFT. โ€œMy job is to go out and make plays no matter whoโ€™s on the field. So, it might look a little different as far as where Iโ€™m at [lining up on the field]. But overall, we got a football game, and I got to go play ball.โ€

  • Per Howard Balzer, the Ravens hosted P Jake Gerardi for a tryout on Wednesday. 

Steelers

  • SI.comโ€™s Albert Breer โ€œwouldnโ€™t pull the plugโ€ on Steelers HC Mike Tomlin but understands the questions surrounding the franchise with their lack of playoff success despite no losing seasons. 
  • Per Howard Balzer, Pittsburgh hosted DL Nathan Pickering and CB Mikey Victor for tryouts on Thursday.
