AFC North Notebook: Green plans to play, Browns say Manziel always an option

Every Monday and Friday, theScore's NFL editors will bring you a roundup of everything you need to know from around the division with the AFC North Notebook.

Cincinnati Bengals

Green plans to play Sunday. Although A.J. Green was not expected to miss significant time with the toe injury suffered in Week 2, his playing status for Sunday against the Tennessee Titans has remained up in the air. Green did return to practice Thursday, however, and says he will play Sunday.

Burfict still dealing with concussion. After returning to the field in Week 2, Vontaze Burfict was forced to leave the game with lingering concussion symptoms. While his status for Sunday's game has yet to be determined, it would be no surprise to see the Bengals hold Burfict out either way, as their bye week is up next in Week 4.

Dalton running offense efficiently. Quarterback Andy Dalton has played at a high level in offensive coordinator Hue Jackson's system thus far, most notably going without a sack or interception through the first two games of the season.

Bengals' running back tandem looking for a nickname. Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill have the potential to make for a productive tandem in the Bengals' running game, and Hill took to Twitter looking for nickname suggestions for the two.

Cleveland Browns

Browns' helmets will remain without logos after uniform redesign. The Browns are scheduled to unveil new uniforms ahead of the 2015 season, but the team confirmed that, sticking to tradition, they will still be going with the orange helmets without team logos on the sides.

Cameron returns to practice. After missing last week's win over the New Orleans Saints, tight end Jordan Cameron returned to Browns practice this week, and hopes to be ready for Sunday's game against the division rival Baltimore Ravens.

Shanahan says Manziel "always an option". Johnny Manziel has been relegated to backup duty through two weeks of the season, but offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan explains that using his rookie quarterback in packaged plays during a game is always on the table.

Columbus making bid to host Browns training camp. Although NFL teams conducting offsite camps are becoming less common of late, the city of Columbus is making a serious run at hosting the Browns' training camps moving forward.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Moore appears ready for Steelers debut. After missing the first two games of the season with a groin injury, free-agent addition Lance Moore returned to practice this week, and would give the Steelers' offense a much-needed boost if he's in the lineup Sunday night against the Carolina Panthers.

LeBeau raves about safeties. Despite a slow start to the season, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau says had nothing but praise for safeties Troy Polamalu and Mike Mitchell, saying "I think they're going to give us one of the best safety combinations in the league."

Polamalu says Steelers 2008 defense was the best of all time. The Steelers' defense led the team to a Super Bowl victory following the 2008 season and, looking back, safety Troy Polamalu claims "It's the greatest of all time. Absolutely."

Baltimore Ravens

Flacco ready for rematch with Pettine's defense. Joe Flacco threw five interceptions in a disappointing loss to Mike Pettine's Buffalo Bills defense in 2013. Now, with Pettine the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, Flacco will try to avoid the same mistakes Sunday.

Harbaugh defends Suggs' play. While Terrell Suggs is struggling to put up the kind of sack numbers he has become accustomed too over the course of his career, head coach John Harbaugh explains that his star pass rusher is still playing at a high level.

Ravens allowing fans to exchange Rice jerseys. This Friday and Saturday only, fans who have purchased Ray Rice jerseys at the Ravens' team store will be allowed to exchange them for that of another Ravens player.
