NFL Notes: Bengals, Dolphins, Patriots, Redskins & Titans

Bengals

  • According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, some in league circles view the Bengalsโ€™ decision to give HC Marvin Lewis a one-year extension back in April as proof heโ€™ll likely be back in Cincinnati next year, despite some talk that he could be on the hot seat.
  • Florio, citing a league source, reports that itโ€™s unlikely Lewis would resign from his current job, as itโ€™s believed he would prefer to hang around long enough to allow his son, Marcus, enough time to secure a foothold in the coaching profession.

Dolphins

Patriots

  • Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, citing a source with knowledge of the situation, reports that the early indication is that Patriots TE Rob Gronkowskiโ€˜s back injury isnโ€™t serious.
  • According to Florio, Gronkowski is not expected to miss any more time, despite leaving Sundayโ€™s win over the Jets.

Redskins

  • Mike Florio of PFT reports that the Redskins havenโ€™t decided what theyโ€™ll do in regards to impending free agent QB Kirk Cousins next year and they wonโ€™t make a decision until after the season.
  • Florio says that there still too many variables right now for the team to finalize any plans regarding Cousins.
  • Others have reported that Washington will likely use their franchise tag on him again in 2017 if they canโ€™t get a long-term deal done.
  • Interestingly enough, Florio says that itโ€™s possible the Redskins could tag and trade Cousins but the largest obstacle would be the simple fact that whoever trades for him would have to sign him to a massive contract extension on top of parting with draft picks.
