Required Reading: Links to the Best in AFC North Coverage, 7/27 Edition

Today's AFC North Required Reading includes major questions about Ravens LT Bryant McKinnie's future, a contract extension for a Bengals coach, a potential new investor for the Browns and the very latest on Mike Wallace's holdout in Pittsburgh.

Baltimore Ravens

Earlier this month, I wondered whether the Baltimore Ravens could part ways with left tackle Bryant McKinnie, especially if he doesn't get his weight and conditioning in check. Though the team has problems at offensive line depth, it looks like McKinnie's future is indeed in doubt.

McKinnie did not report for the opening of Ravens camp, and it is unknown when he will return, according to Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun. As of now, Michael Oher has been moved to left tackle in a move that, based on head coach John Harbaugh's comments, may in fact be permanent. He also added that the team is on the hunt for a right tackle, not a good sign for McKinnie.

James Reagan of Bleacher Report details five sleepers to keep an eye on in Ravens camp this year, and unfortunately, none are offensive tackles.

Cincinnati Bengals

Though Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis is heading into the 2012 season without a contract extension, the team did give one to defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer (Per ProFootballTalk), which keeps him around through the 2014 season, per the Cincinnati Enquirer's Joe Reedy via Twitter.

Aaron Nagler and other members of the Bleacher Report NFL roundtable talk about the best- and worst-case scenarios that could befall the Bengals this season.

Cleveland Browns

Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Cleveland Browns may add a new investor into the mix—Jimmy Haslam, who is also a minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bleacher Report's Barbara Bruno says that Browns rookie running back Trent Richardson may have set his goals too high for the season.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette believes that the demands being made by holdout wide receiver Mike Wallace are coming directly from Wallace, and not his agent Bus Cook. He also spoke to Emmanuel Sanders, who has been playing in the X spot while Wallace has been away, about his preparedness to take on that role.

Chris G. of Bleacher Report gives us one question for each player on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster that must be answered by the time training camp breaks.
