AFC North Notes: Browns, Steelers, Ravens

Odell Beckham Jr. it will be good when the Browns summon for training camp. Kevin Stefanski Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot confirmed that the three-time Pro Bowl recovered 100% from the central muscle surgery she underwent earlier this offseason. Beckham struggled with this problem for much of last season, often unable to practice until Friday, while suffering from a hip injury. While the star receiver prepared for 16 games, after failing to do so in three of his five Giants seasons, OBJ did not develop a great relationship with Baker mayfield. In Year 2 with the Browns, Beckham attended the team’s offseason virtual meetings. He skipped much of Cleveland’s OTA on-site last year.

Jarvis Landry He also had winter surgery, a hip procedure, and is behind Beckham in recovery. Stefanski hopes his other Pro Bowl receiver will be healthy sometime in August. So it seems that Landry will be wasting some time at camp, and Stefanski said he would be cautious with Beckham as well. Away from Cleveland, here is the latest from AFC North:

• Steelers coach Mike Tomlin will start training camp with right tackle Matt Feiler on the left guard (Twitter link via Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). The Steelers need a new left guard after Ramon FosterThe retirement. However, a change in Feiler’s position would create a hole at right tackle, where he started 16 games last season. The Steelers signed Stefen Wisniewski as a possible replacement for Foster, and Dulac doesn’t expect Feiler to make the move to protect. Should Feiler be a genuine left guard option, third-year tackle? Chukwuma Okorafor and fourth year blocker Zach’s Banner would compete for the Steelers’ right tackle job.
• Both of them James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster are in contract years. While nothing has happened on the Conner extension front, Dulac hopes the Steelers will extend the Smith-Schuster and avoid the franchise tag to do so. The Steelers have demonstrated an excellent ability to identify receiving talents for many years and have often allowed beginners to walk in free agency (Plaxico Burress, Emmanuel Sanders, Mike Wallace) or exchanged (Santonio Holmes, Martavis Bryant) But the team does not have a veteran contract on its current stable receiver, leaving the door open for JuJu to receive his payment.
• the Crows have several outstanding in contract years (Matt Judon, Ronnie Stanley), eligible for extension now (Marlon Humphrey) or establish the freedom to negotiate in 2021 (Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews) John Harbaugh He is optimistic that the team will be able to keep some key players, even as the threat of a reduced salary cap looms for 2021. “We will keep as many men as we can“Harbaugh said, through Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic (subscription required).”I am very optimistic about the fact that we have a good cap situation in the future. We haven’t been in good shape for the past six years or so. Really, seven years. Every year, we have been behind the eight ball with the cap. That was exactly how it was. This year was a little better, and next year it will be much better.. “
