After talk of the Ravens considering Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III dominated the news cycle, coach John Harbaugh is trying to reel everything in.
“I would pay attention to every quarterback that isn’t signed,” Harbaugh said (via PFT). “They’re all options for us right now.”
For what it’s worth, RG3 has reportedly fallen off of the team’s radar after the team considered giving him a tryout. The possibility of adding Kaepernick, meanwhile, still looms large after the Ravens’ owner and team president both confirmed their interest in him. The Ravens are looking carefully at their backup quarterback situation in light of Joe Flacco’s back injury, but they’re also dealing with an increasingly dire situation at tight end.
While the Ravens scramble for answers on offense, here’s a look at the latest from around the NFL:
- Seahawks cornerback DeShawn Shead recently had another knee cleanup surgery, as Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times tweets. That’s not necessarily bad news though as coach Pete Carroll says the procedure could accelerate his return. Shead is not expected to be ready for Week 1, but the team is hoping to have him back in action as soon as possible.
- Seahawks rookie defensive lineman Malik McDowell is reporting to the team on Tuesday, but his status for the 2017 season is still up in the air, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times writes. McDowell suffered head injuries in an ATV accident two weeks ago and he is dealing with a multitude of injuries as a result. The team will take a closer look at him this week to get a handle on his situation. The good news is that McDowell has said his injuries are not career- or life-threatening.
- The Steelers are looking for depth at running back while Le’Veon Bell stays away from the team. On Tuesday morning, Pittsburgh auditioned former Louisville running back Brandon Radcliff, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter).
