Here are the most interesting stories Tuesday morning in the AFC East:
  • New England Patriots Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins recently had surgery to repair a torn ACL in his knee.
Morning take: Mankins unknowingly played in the Super Bowl with a torn ACL, according to ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss. That shows his toughness, but it also looks like he will be out until at least training camp, if not longer.
Morning take: This would be an interesting development. The Jets know Green-Ellis well from his days with the Patriots, and he doesn't fumble. Could he fit New York's ground-and-pound offense?
  • Can Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow thrive in the Miami Dolphins' new West Coast offense?
Morning take: Nope.
  • Which quarterback has Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams sacked the most?
Morning take: The answer is Peyton Manning. But click the link to find out who's No. 3 on Williams' hit list. Interesting.
