Wide receiver A.J. Green is one of five players the Bengals have ruled out for Sunday’s game at Cleveland.
Green will miss his third straight game since suffering a Grade 2 hamstring tear last month. He hasn’t ruled out a return this season but has yet to participate in on-field team activities since suffering the injury.
Also out are wide receiver James Wright, defensive end Wallace Gilberry, safety Derron Smith and tight end C.J. Uzomah. Bengals long snapper Clark Harris is questionable due to a groin injury but was a full practice participant on Friday.
Rookie wide receiver Cody Core made his first career catch last week and should again see extensive action with Wright and Green out.
