Tuesday brought no games in the AFC North, but there was plenty of movement on the transaction wire. The Steelers headlined the day by bringing in a veteran wideout, while the Ravens, Bengals and Browns all made smaller but notable tweaks as Week 7 approaches.
Steelers: Valdes-Scantling arrives, rookie drawing buzz
Per Pro Football Rumors, the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) have signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad. The outlet notes that the move reunites him with Aaron Rodgers once again. Valdes-Scantling had joined the Dallas Cowboys this past offseason but did not make it to Week 1 with them, then landed on the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad before this latest stop in Pittsburgh.
CBS Sports, in its "Cover 32" column, also highlighted a breakout performance from a Steelers rookie in Week 6, without offering specific details. The mention places that outing among the key storylines from the NFL weekend and underscores how Pittsburgh is already getting meaningful contributions from its rookie class as it sits tied atop the division at 4-2.
Ravens: added depth at kicker
For the Baltimore Ravens (4-2), Pro Football Rumors’ daily practice squad update lists the signing of kicker Jake Moody to the practice squad. No further context is given, but the move adds another leg to a roster that is firmly in the AFC North race.
Bengals: Tanner Hudson to injured reserve
The Cincinnati Bengals (3-2) took a hit to their tight end depth. According to Pro Football Rumors, they placed tight end Tanner Hudson on injured reserve. The nature of his injury is not specified, but the IR designation means Cincinnati will have to lean on other options at the position while trying to keep pace in a crowded division.
Browns: first-place Cleveland enters Week 7 as favorite
The Cleveland Browns (4-2) are being treated like a contender at the betting window. CBS Sports notes that the first-place Browns are favorites in their Week 7 matchup, on a board that also features the surprising twist of the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs entering as underdogs elsewhere. In a division with three teams at 4-2, Cleveland’s status as a favorite underscores how oddsmakers view the Browns in the AFC North picture.
