So What That the Cleveland Browns Are Young, and More AFC North News

Steve Doerschuk of the Canton Repository is well aware that the Cleveland Browns have 15 rookies on their 53-man roster, but he doesn't believe this is as bad as many others have claimed it to be.

He notes that not all of these rookies will play much this year, and that there is enough of a veteran presence to balance out the younger players.

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens might have solved their situation at left tackle on Monday after successfully retaining Bryant McKinnie, but they still don't have a definite, reliable starter at left guard. Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun says that rookie Kelechi Osemele should take that spot.

Bleacher Report's Kyle Casey says the key to a Ravens Week 1 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals is quarterback Joe Flacco.

Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Bengals have placed center Kyle Cook on injured reserve, naming him "designated to return," which means he can come back after Week 7. The team also signed tight end Richard Quinn.

Matt Gray of Bleacher Report details the Bengals' biggest concerns heading into the regular season.

Cleveland Browns

Dennis Manoloff of the Cleveland Plain Dealer scouts the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cleveland Browns' Week 1 opponent.

Bleacher Report's Brian Murtaugh examines the role Josh Cribbs will play in the Browns' offense this year.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette digs deeper into Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's Tuesday press conference remarks that he feels most comfortable with three quarterbacks on the roster.

Ian Hanford of Bleacher Report contends that the Steelers' offensive success this season depends on running back Rashard Mendenhall.
