Bengals WR Green doubtful to face Ravens

Published

on

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green was listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens after sitting out Friday’s practice.

Green has missed the past two games due to the toe injury he originally suffered in the Bengals’ season-opening victory over the Ravens.

He was back on the rehab field Wednesday and was hopeful of playing Sunday, but sat out the following two days.

The Bengals were hoping Green could return to give a jolt to an offense that began last week’s game with eight consecutive three-and-outs and finished with 135 yards in a 27-0 loss. But head coach Marvin Lewis said his team’s offensive woes will have no bearing on the timetable for Green’s return, even in a game as important at this one is with the Bengals looking at the possibility of falling three games behind Baltimore in the win column.

“It’s up to when he’s physically ready to go,” Lewis said midweek. “That decision is not in my hands. When he is significantly healed, he’ll be ready to play. He’ll know it, I’ll know it, and then he’ll be ready to move forward.

“He’s had the best people in the world — at least in our country — examine this, and they’ve been consistent with their message to him,” Lewis continued. “He’s seen the people that every NFL player sees, every professional athlete sees, and they’ve been consistent with the message, and so we’ve felt pretty good about that.”

The Bengals ruled linebacker Rey Maualuga out with a hamstring injury, and defensive tackle Brandon Thompson is questionable with a knee injury.

The Ravens will be without defensive end Chris Canty (wrist) and tight end Owen Daniels (knee).
