Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert has been officially declared out for Sundays game against the New York Jets, the team announced Friday.Eifert has been working his way back from an ankle injury sustained in the Pro Bowl and has yet to return to practice. On Friday, he worked off to the side with an athletic trainer.Although expected, Eiferts absence is still a blow to the Bengals offense, which returns star receiver A.J. Green, but otherwise will bring a mostly new group of pass catchers into Week 1.The Jets have already revealed they plan to give cornerback Darrelle Revis some help so hes not covering Green one-on-one. That decision likely is made easier with the absence of Eifert, who had 52 catches for 615 yards and a team-leading 13 touchdown receptions last year.Bengals cornerback Darqueze Dennard (ankle), expressed hope to play this week but is officially listed as doubtful.

BEREA, Ohio -- Dressed in an orange jacket and matching orange shorts, Browns coach Hue Jackson is easy to spot on a practice field crowded with players, coaches, ball boys and onlookers.Standing in the middle of every drill on the first day of training camp, Jackson resembled a construction barrel -- perhaps a fitting comparison considering the reclamation project hes overseeing.Jackson is taking on the Browns, one of the NFLs worst teams who are on their eighth coach since 1999 and have had just two winning seasons since their expansion return 17 years ago.Its early, but theres something different about Jackson, who at age 50 has not lost an ounce of the enthusiasm that steered him toward a football life 29 years ago as a college graduate assistant at Pacific. The former Oakland head coach -- he led a talent-thin Raiders team to an 8-8 record in 2011 -- has impressed his players with a tough but fair attitude.Its always difficult to compare and contrast the coaches because I cant remember all of them in 10 years, cracked Browns Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas, who is on his fifth head coach since 2007. But one thing I think all of the players have been drawn to Hue with has been his passion and his attention to detail. Hes not the type of head coach who wants to sit back and let his assistants do the coaching.Hes a guy that demands so much of his coaches that he actually wants to be in there doing the coaching himself. He cant help himself.Thats obvious while watching or listening to Jackson, a virtual chatter box during practice. Hes constantly offering players either a compliment or criticism. On Friday, Jackson laid into rookie quarterback Cody Kessler, stopping him from running a play with a profane outburst before making the third-round pick explain why he called out a particular formation.Theres no doubt the Browns are Jacksons team. He has far more experience than anyone in Clevelands revamped front office, which now includes Paul DePodesta, the teams chief strategy officer who first made his mark as a baseball analytics expert. Jackson wont have final say on roster decisions, which will be made collectively, but his voice will be the strongest and loudest on such matters.And while Jacksons message of a turnaround is a familiar one to Browns fans, who have heard catch phrases like its a process and we have to be patient before from his prredecessors, some of his players believe a culture change is underway in Cleveland.ddddddddddddAbsolutely, its a palpable difference, said linebacker Paul Kruger, who signed with Cleveland in 2013 after winning a Super Bowl in Baltimore. Theres an energy here that I dont think Ive felt yet here. Its extremely positive, and I think that one of the best things that Hue brings to the table is that he unites. He unites the organization, the players, and I believe thats something that is rarer than youd think, a coach who can just unite the players and get everybody feeling the loyalty and the positivity.Thats what really inspires me the most about coach Jackson.Just the second coach hired by the Browns since `99 with NFL head coaching experience, Jackson has a proven track record of fixing quarterbacks and offenses. He spent the past four seasons in Cincinnati, where he coached running backs for two years before taking over as coordinator for one of the leagues most potent attacks.His new job is more daunting, and Jackson, who spent 14 years coaching in college before joining Washingtons staff as an assistant in 2001, only knows one way the Browns will succeed.Its just hard work, he said. Were going to put our head down and come out here and practice hard and then prepare hard and work our process and give us the best opportunity to win. I know that our staff and our players are going to do that and thats pretty important to me.Game notes For the second straight day in a row, inclement weather prevented the Browns from opening practice to the public for safety reasons. The team practiced in its indoor field house. ... Browns will be in full pads for the first time Sunday and Jackson promised, Were going to hit. Jackson plans to sound a siren during the workout and once its heard, anything goes. Jackson would not divulge any particulars about the contact drills but said were going to be bumping into each other.... DB Pierre Desir, who made six starts at cornerback last season, is getting a look at safety. ... Rookie WR Cory Coleman, the teams first-round draft pick, made several nice catches. Jackson said, Hes stacking good days together, hes just getting better.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
