Today's AFC North Required Reading includes roster cuts for all four teams, updates on a severe injury to a Steelers rookie, the fate of Colt McCoy and an introduction to the new Ravens kicker.
Today is the deadline for NFL teams to get to 75 men on their roster. The Baltimore Ravens made a few moves over the weekend, the most notable being the release of veteran kicker Billy Cundiff, with the team going with rookie Justin Tucker instead.
Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun breaks down what it means for the Ravens' salary cap here, while Bleacher Report's Jamal Collier introduces you to Tucker and gives you the lowdown on his potential fantasy football impact.
The Cincinnati Bengals' first wave of roster cuts included putting five players on injured reserve and waiving four others, reports the Cincinnati Enquirer's Joe Reedy. Among those on injured reserve are cornerbacks Brandon Ghee and Shaun Prater and safety Robert Sands.
Andrew Dunn of Bleacher Report gives us his take on four Bengals who will be the hardest to cut this week.
The Cleveland Browns' roster cuts, according to Branson Wright of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, include few surprises. Wide receiver Carlton Mitchell and defensive back Emanuel Davis are the most notable names.
The Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot reports that quarterback Colt McCoy is looking less and less likely to be traded and could instead stay on with the Browns as Brandon Weeden's backup. Bleacher Report's Barbara Bruno gives us seven reasons why this is the team's best course of action.
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie right guard David DeCastro suffered what the team is calling a severe knee injury—but nothing more as of yet—in the first quarter of their eventual 38-7 win over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. Other reports have said that DeCastro tore his MCL and patellar tendon but not his ACL; either way, his season appears to be over.
Also done in Pittsburgh are 15 players released on Monday, including safety Myron Rolle, kicker Daniel Hrapmanm, cornerback Walter McFadden and recently-signed tight end Justin Peelle.
Bleacher Report's Chris G. predicts just what he believes the Steelers' 53-man roster will look like this year; final cuts to get to that number will come by Friday's deadline.
