Browns

Ravens
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman is ready to step up as the team’s top receiver with WR Zay Flowers dealing with a knee injury.
“The situation that we have on our hands, it doesn’t change anything about me and my role and what I got to do,” Bateman said, via PFT. “My job is to go out and make plays no matter who’s on the field. So, it might look a little different as far as where I’m at [lining up on the field]. But overall, we got a football game, and I got to go play ball.”
- Per Howard Balzer, the Ravens hosted P Jake Gerardi for a tryout on Wednesday.

- Per Howard Balzer, Pittsburgh hosted DL Nathan Pickering and CB Mikey Victor for tryouts on Thursday.
