Bengals
Bengals DE rookie Shemar Stewart expressed disappointment in his injury-plagued first season, missing significant time after just two games. Head Coach Zac Taylor emphasized the importance of gradual improvement without pressure on Stewart. Additionally, QB Joe Burrow acknowledged his poor performance in a loss to the Ravens. In other news, DE Trey Hendrickson may not remain with the Bengals beyond 2026.
Browns
Browns OC Tommy Rees highlighted his focus on improving offensive performance amid interest for head coaching roles, particularly from Penn State. QB coach Bill Musgrave praised the progress of Shedeur Sanders while noting Rees’s strategic foresight. Despite rumors, HC Kevin Stefanski is in good standing with management, though potential changes are not ruled out.
Ravens
Ravens DT Travis Jones is set for restricted free agency due to a lack of an accrued season; however, a contract extension worth $40.5 million was finalized before a grievance hearing. The deal includes a significant signing bonus and ensures Jones remains with the team through 2028.
