Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green participated in practice on Thursday, according to Geoff Hobson of the team website. Green is dealing with a toe injury and was a limited participant on Wednesday. He'll likely be given the limited designation again, which means a questionable status for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars is pretty likely.

Whatever the case, Green may be a game-time decision. Fortunately, the Bengals and Jaguars play in the earlier slate, so his status should be known relatively early on Sunday. Green's last game was against the New England Patriots on Oct. 5, when he put up 81 yards and a touchdown. Green sustained the toe injury in practice following that game and has been inactive for Cincinnati's last three games.
Fantasy Impact: Mohamed Sanu has been holding down the fort well for quarterback Andy Dalton, but Green's fantasy owners likely didn't get an opportunity to grab Sanu. That's due to the injury to Marvin Jones at the start of the season, making Sanu valuable far before Green was injured. But Green seems primed to come back, so fantasy owners should watch the inactive list early Sunday.
