Here are the most interesting stories Tuesday in the AFC North:

It appears Baltimore cornerbacks Lardarius Webb and Fabian Washington could begin training camp sidelined while rehabbing knee injuries.

Morning take: The Ravens should be cautious with both players coming off ACL injuries. If at least one can be 100 percent by Week 1, that would be a nice boost to the secondary.

After sweeping the division last year, should the Cincinnati Bengals be the favorites in the AFC North?

Morning take: A case certainly can be made for the Bengals. But expect most to go with Baltimore as the preseason favorite instead.

The Pittsburgh Steelers remain the most-hated team in Cleveland.

Morning take: With Cleveland’s win last year, is Browns-SteeelersÂ starting to become a strong rivalry again?

Ben Watson leads the packÂ at tight end for the Cleveland Browns.

Morning take: Watson has plenty of winning experience from his days with the New England Patriots. But also watch out for Evan Moore, who could be a sleeper.
