 | Cincinnati Bengals Reason for concerns: AFC North (SportingNews.com) Yahoo! Sports - NFL - Cincinnati Bengals News 2010-09-03 5:38:00 A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the AFC North: Baltimore Ravens 1. An offensive line in flux. There is no timeframe when RT Jared Gaither will return from a back injury. The top backup, Oniel Cousins, has missed substantial practice time with a concussion and was inconsistent when healthy. The coaches probably will move RG Marshal Yanda to tackle and insert backup C Chris Chester at right guard. That leaves this unit with little depth. |
 | Houston Texans Reason for concerns: AFC South (SportingNews.com) Yahoo! Sports - NFL - Houston Texans News 2010-09-03 5:34:00 A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the AFC South: Houston Texans 1. The running game. Even though Arian Foster averaged 6 yards rushing in preseason, there's no guarantee coach Gary Kubiak will have the kind of running game he wants, one that ranks among the top 10. Foster started only two games as a rookie. Steve Slaton has a toe injury after being injured last season. 2. Interior offensive line. It was a weak point last season after starting Gs Chester Pitts and Mike Brisiel sustained season-ending injuries. |
 | Atlanta Falcons Reason for concerns: NFC South (SportingNews.com) Yahoo! Sports - NFL - Atlanta Falcons News 2010-09-03 5:21:00 A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the NFC South: Atlanta Falcons 1. Pass coverage. CB Dunta Robinson, the team's major offseason acquisition, has not played in three exhibition games because of a hamstring injury. He will likely get some action tonight at Jacksonville. If he's not 100 percent, the Falcons' chance of improving the 28th-ranked pass defense diminishes greatly. Robinson is supposed to play on the right side and take away that side of the field. |
 | Buffalo Bills Reason for concerns: AFC East (SportingNews.com) Yahoo! Sports - NFL - Buffalo Bills News 2010-09-03 5:11:00 A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the AFC East: Buffalo Bills 1. Left tackle. The Bills might not be good enough at the position. LT Demetrius Bell struggled mightily last season and has gotten limited preseason reps coming off knee surgery, so stamina might be an issue. RT Cornell Green has not looked good in pass protection. The Bills must limit long-yardage situations because shaky pass protection could endanger QB Trent Edwards. |
 | Arizona Cardinals Leftwich, Hardesty injured in preseason finales (AP) Yahoo! Sports - NFL - Arizona Cardinals News 2010-09-03 4:55:17 First, no Ben Roethlisberger. Now, maybe no Byron Leftwich for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dennis Dixon, you're up next. Leftwich, expected to be the fill-in starter for the suspended Roethlisberger at quarterback for the Steelers, sprained his left knee in the second quarter as Pittsburgh (3-1) beat the starter-less Carolina Panthers 19-3 in the preseason finale Thursday night. |
