NFL Notes: Bengals, Broncos, Giants, Jaguars

Bengals

Bengals HC Marvin Lewis was asked Wednesday if there was any chance for A.J. McCarron to see some game action over the final seven weeks of the season.

“Not if Andy [Dalton] continues to play and do things right, take care of the ball and run the offense the way we expect him to run it,’’ Lewis said, via Paul Dehner Jr of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Lewis added that they still aren’t out of the mix, despite their 3-6 record.

“We’re not out of it. I told them this morning they have to act like they’re 9-0,’’ Lewis said.

• Dan Graziano reports that Bengals TE Tyler Eifert, who is out for the year after undergoing back surgery, underwent surgery to remove a cyst from his knee.
