Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green was not suited up Wednesday as his teammates started practice, a sign that Green figures to miss at least another game with a hamstring injury.
Last week, Green said he’s dealing with a Grade 2 tear that wouldn’t require surgery and said he was still hopeful he could return this season. Green was working on a side field with trainers as the Bengals began practice Wednesday afternoon.
Green said he did mostly light work last week. He’s been out since suffering the injury early in a Nov. 20 loss to the Bills.
The Bengals are 4-7-1 and 2.5 games behind the Ravens and Steelers in the AFC North. If the Bengals can win this week in Cleveland and get a little help in terms of the Ravens and/or Steelers losing, things could get interesting with the Steelers coming to Cincinnati next week.
Green is 36 receiving yards short of going over 1,000 for the sixth consecutive year to start his career.
