There were no games on the AFC North slate Thursday, but it was still an eventful day, headlined by a significant injury for the Pittsburgh Steelers and off-field issues surrounding their historic trip to France.
Steelers: Joseph-Day to IR and Paris fan event scrapped
Per Pro Football Rumors, the Pittsburgh Steelers placed defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day on injured reserve on Thursday. The 31-year-old veteran is now out for at least four games after suffering a triceps injury in Pittsburgh’s Week 6 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to the same outlet. For a defense built around stout interior play, losing an experienced tackle from the rotation is a notable blow.
Logistics around the team’s trip to Paris also got more complicated. CBS Sports reports that protests in Paris forced the Steelers to cancel a planned fan event ahead of Sunday’s historic game at Stade de France. According to CBS Sports, the game itself is still set to be played as scheduled, with the NFL working alongside local authorities and ramping up security measures.
Ravens: practice squad tweak and a pivotal Bengals clash
For the Baltimore Ravens, Pro Football Rumors notes a practice squad adjustment: linebacker Carl Jones Jr. has been signed, while center Andre James has been released. It’s a depth move, but it underscores how Baltimore continues to fine-tune its roster while sitting at 4-2 in a tightly packed division race.
Looking ahead, CBS Sports highlights the Week 7 matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals as one of the league’s most important games for the playoff picture. With the Ravens, Cleveland Browns, and Steelers all at 4-2 and the Bengals at 3-2, every intra-division win figures to carry extra weight the rest of the way.
Bengals and Browns: quiet day in a crowded race
There were no notable new moves or injuries reported for the Cincinnati Bengals or Cleveland Browns over the last 24 hours. Cincinnati still finds itself in the national spotlight because of that high-stakes trip to Baltimore, while Cleveland quietly holds at 4-2 in an AFC North where all four teams are currently above .500.
