Carl Lawson Joins Baltimore Ravens From Bengals In AFC North Move

Carl Lawson has joined the Baltimore Ravens, returning to the AFC North and potentially strengthening the Ravens' defense as they prepare for upcoming challenges in a competitive division. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals have focused on re-signing Trey Hendrickson as their primary pass rusher and are preparing to face Lawson twice this season, adding intrigue to their divisional matchups. The Bengals recently elevated linebacker Joe Giles-Harris from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of their game against the New York Jets, while also welcoming Hendrickson back after an injury. The Bengals aim to build on their momentum with a home game against the struggling Jets, who are missing key players Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner, and whose head coach, Mike Glenn, has yet to turn the team’s performance around. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor addressed linebacker Logan Wilson's trade request, emphasizing the importance of focus and leadership within the team. The Bengals' upcoming match against the Jets also includes a Ring of Honor induction, highlighting the team's ongoing efforts to rally both on and off the field.
