Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green was once again absent from practice on Thursday, according to Geoff Hobson of the team website. Green is dealing with a toe injury and was held out of the team's last game, and missed Wednesday's practice session. He sustained the injury prior to Week 6 and had to be carted off the practice field Wednesday of that week.
A.J. Green misses practice again, unlikely to play in Week 7
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green missed practice on Thursday and is unlikely to play in Week 7. We break down the fantasy implications.

Green wasn't optimistic about his chances to play in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts, though head coach Marvin Lewis called him "day-to-day" with the toe injury. Unless Green is a surprise show at practice on Friday, it seems likely that he's going to miss the upcoming game. The Bengals don't have an especially tough schedule, but a Week 8 game against the Baltimore Ravens carries divisional significance.
Fantasy Impact: Cincinnati is giving Green time to rest. Whether or not that includes sitting out Week 7 won't be known until we see what happens in practice on Friday and what the official injury report says. Fantasy owners should be looking into other options at this point. Mohamed Sanu is the top option in Cincinnati right now, but unless you struck early he's already off the table.
