In nine games this year, Green’s been one of the Bengals top receiving options with 41 receptions for 635 yards and six touchdowns, which leads all rookie receivers. This is an unfortunate time to lose him considering the Bengals are traveling to Baltimore for a huge divisional matchup with the Ravens. Both teams are tied for second in the division at 6-3.

Green hasn’t practiced all week so it’s not a huge surprise that he’s unlikely to play. Reports have been coming in throughout the week that Green’s chances of playing didn’t look great.

The Cincinnati Bengals may very well be without their top wide receiver, A.J. Green, in a division showdown with the Baltimore Ravens this week. According to Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network, the chances of Green playing this week are “not looking great.” Losing Green this week would significantly impact the Bengals’ chances of getting a one-game lead over Baltimore in the AFC North race.

Green hyperextended his knee in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. In the days following the injury, the team sounded unconcerned that Green would miss any playing time. Though he did not suffer any ligament damage, an MRI did reveal bone bruising. Green missed Wednesday’s practice, and the Bengals said he would likely be a game-time decision yesterday.
