In what should come as little surprise, A.J. Green won't be on the field as the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Head coach Marvin Lewis acknowledged that his No. 1 receiver is out for a second straight week.

Marvin Lewis told @lindsayczarniak that Bengals WR A.J. Green is out for today's game vs. the Colts.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 19, 2014 Green has been battling a toe injury for several weeks now. It was once presumed he could play through it, and now Lewis and the Bengals organization seem conflicted on his time table. He’ll likely be a question mark heading into Week 8.
Fantasy impact: Green owners are undoubtedly frustrated with the situation, but it’s been likely that Green would sit out heading into Sunday’s game. The real frustration is the information being given on the extent of Green’s injury. At the moment, it appears week-to-week. Fantasy owners should already have backup plans in place.
