CINCINNATI (AP) — Receiver A.J. Green was getting his injured right foot examined on Monday while his teammates returned from a week of rest that helped some of them heal, but not one of their most valuable players on offense.
Green hurt his right foot during a 37-34 win over Tampa Bay heading into the bye.
Green wore a protective boot last week and indicated the move was precautionary, but it turned out to be more severe than initially thought. The Bengals (5-3) will likely be missing their most indispensable receiver heading into a game Sunday against the Saints (7-1) at Paul Brown Stadium.
