In an update from a previous item, Bengals WR A.J. Green is now out indefinitely after a setback this week in his recovery from his ankle injury.
"Green said he will likely not make his season debut Sunday against Baltimore after his left ankle did not respond well to workouts earlier this week. Following Monday's off-week practice, Green said he experienced swelling that derailed his plans of participating in Wednesday's practice. The ninth-year receiver said he doesn't know how long he will need to stay off the ankle as he continues the rehab process," wrote Baby.
"For me, just gotta make sure I feel comfortable going out there and pushing it," Green said Thursday. "For me, just gotta make sure I gotta take care of me first before anything else." (H/T Baby)
Green worked out Monday, including running routes, and his ankle swelled up. Green is hopeful he can still play in 2019 but wants to feel 100 percent and go through a full practice before he does. In his defense, he's in a contract year and the Bengals are 0-8, so there's really no reason for him to push his ankle if he knows it's not fully ready.
