Bengals WR A.J. Green (foot) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Green’s injury doesn’t appear to be serious, but we’ll monitor his practice activity this week. It’s a good sign that he was even limited at this point in the week.

During the offseason, Eagles rookie WR Jordan Matthews worked out with Calvin Johnson and A.J. Green, two of the best receivers in the league.

Matthews said his work ethic, his willingness to come to work early and stay late, is owed, in part, to watching veterans like Johnson and Green prepare in the offseason. They told him “don’t take a play off, not in practice or the game.” It’s the kind of advice you’d expect from players of that caliber, even if the Eagles would prefer Matthews to remember that the season is only just starting, and it’s a long one.

“The biggest thing with Jordan, and there are some other guys on the team like him, we have to make sure we manage him because he’s got such a high motor,” HC Chip Kelly said. “Whether it’s in meetings or on the practice field, we have to make sure he understands we’re playing a 16-game season here.”

Fantasy Impact:

Gonzalez believes the Eagles need Matthews to contribute right away. He points out that after Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper, they’re pretty thin at receiver. Josh Huff is still recovering from a shoulder injury. Brad Smith is solid on special teams but has never been a consistent offensive receiving threat. And Jeff Maehl rounds out the group. He has four receptions for his career. While this isn't breaking news, it's best to take a wait-and-see approach with Matthews. He likely didn't get drafted in typical leagues. The Eagles are expected to use a lot of TEs Zach Ertz and Brent Celek as well. With RB Darren Sproles also around, there are a lot of targets.

Bengals WR Marvin Jones to miss 'a few weeks'

According to Geoff Hobson of the team’s official website, Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones will miss “a few weeks” after breaking a bone in his foot Saturday.

Surgery was performed to put a pin in his fifth metatarsal. It’s similar to the injury that cost Mohamed Sanu the last month of the 2012 season.

Jones emerged as a playmaker last season, catching 51 passes for 712 yards and 10 touchdowns, and paired with A.J. Green for one of the AFC’s top tandems of wideouts.

But now, they’re going to have to work without him for some time, opening the door for Sanu or Dane Sanzenbacher to play a more prominent role.

Fantasy Impact:

From our injury expert Russell Manalastas: "Normal fracture recovery timetables are around 4-6, 6-8 weeks. Unfortunately, if this is indeed a Jones fracture, due to the poor blood supply to this region, that timeline will probably be pushed back to 10-12 weeks, with that time frame being optimistic. For example, Aaron Dobson just came back from this same injury almost 4 months (16 weeks) from the surgery. The thing you need to consider most when allowing players to return to high level impact such as running, cutting, etc. is 1) pain with impact, 2) healing of the bone around the screw to prevent the likelihood of another incidence. I don't believe he's worth drafting at this time, but definitely someone to monitor during the season as a potential waiver wire addition."

Ten to 12 weeks would put Jones's return in the Week 8 to Week 11 window. If that's the case, he could end up tagged as "IR/designated to return" meaning that he'd miss at least the first eight weeks. We should know more soon, specifically the nature of the injury. Once we confirm whether it's a Jones fracture, we will have a better idea of when he'll be back.

Update: Albert Breer tweeted, "Bengals' hope right now is to have WR Marvin Jones back after their Week 4 bye. If it happens, he returns to play v. the Patriots on Oct. 5."

This is positive news, but we're only recommending Jones as a late-round pick, at best, if your league does not have an IR slot.
