AFC NORTH Cincinnati Bengals (2-14)
Baltimore Ravens (14-3)
■ CAMP SITE: Owings Mills, Maryland
IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: DE Calais Campbell, DE Derek Wolfe, G D.J. Fluker, LB Patrick Queen, RB J.K. Dobbins, WR Devin Duvernay, LB Malik Harrison
■ IMPORTANT LOSSES: G Marshal Yanda, DT Michael Pierce, TE Hayden Hurst, RT James Hurst, LB Patrick Onawuasor, LB Josh Bynes, DE Chris Wormley, WR Seth Roberts, S Tony Jefferson, CB Brandon Carr
■ PANDEMIC CHALLENGES: Ravens tried to cope with pandemic by conducting team meetings on Zoom, but there’s work to be done on field to incorporate Campbell, Wolfe, Queen and Harrison into new-look defense. In addition, QB Lamar Jackson has started only one full season and needs on-field training to take next step in development as complete QB.
■ CAMP NEEDS: Ravens need to solidify offensive line that will be without Yanda for first time 2007 and has C Matt Skura returning from knee surgery. Offense also looking for more vertical routes from WRs beyond Marquise Brown. Defense will seek to develop better pass rush than last year, when Matthew Judon had 9½ of team’s 37 sacks.
■ CAMP SITE: Cincinnati
■ IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins, CB Trae Waynes, S Vonn Bell, CB LeShaun Sims, CB Mackensie Alexander, DE D.J. Reader, LB Josh Bynes, G Xavier Su’a-Filo
■ IMPORTANT LOSSES: QB Andy Dalton, LT Cordy Glenn, CB Dre Kirkpatrick, CB B.W. Webb, G John Miller, LB Nick Vigil, TE Tyler Eifert, CB Darqueze Dennard, DT Andrew Billings
■ PANDEMIC CHALLENGES: Burrow had to learn offense in offseason without actually running it, huge challenge for rookie quarterback. An overhauled offensive line also will be trying to develop chemistry in shortened time frame.
■ CAMP NEEDS: Coaching staff will have to figure out how much of the offense to install initially with Burrow running it for first time. Receiver A.J. Green signed franchise tag offer, keeping him around for Burrow’s rookie season. Now they need to develop connection on the field.
