Arkansas Bengal Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 A.J. Green says he’s on track to play Posted by Josh Alper on September 19, 2014, 10:38 AM EDT Getty Images Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green’s status for Sunday has been closely monitored throughout the week and things are looking up as it comes to a close. Green’s toe injury kept him out of practice on Wednesday and left him unsure if he’d be able to get on the field against the Titans after getting through just six plays in last week’s victory. While Green said he wanted to play as long as he wasn’t too compromised by the injury, the Bengals’ Week Four bye added to that uncertainty since he could get an extended rest by sitting out this weekend. Friday morning brought a bit more certainty and optimism, though. Geoff Hobson of the Bengals website reports that Green said that he’s feeling no soreness from the injury and, as a result, feels ready to go for Sunday. The Bengals were able to win last week despite the cameo appearance from their top receiver, but their best chance for winning consistently is going to come with Green on the field. It looks like that will be the case this weekend. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/09/19/a-j-green-says-hes-on-track-to-play/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Bengal Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 A.J. Green wants to play Updated: September 19, 2014, 10:40 AM ET By Coley Harvey | ESPN.com CINCINNATI -- Bengals receiver A.J. Green said Friday his injured right big toe is feeling better and he hopes to play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Green, who aggravated the injured toe against Atlanta last Sunday, said he'll play Sunday if he feels the same way after Friday's full practice. The three-time Pro Bowl receiver won't be wearing anything extra during the practice as he said he doesn't like the extra padding in his shoe or tape around his toe. "We'll see what happens," Green said. "It feels a lot better than it did." He caught a team-high six passes for 131 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 win at Baltimore. Last week, however, was the first time in his career that he started a game and finished without a catch. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11551709/aj-green-cincinnati-bengals-feels-good-says-play-sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Didn't ML already say somewhere that AJ would play? I wouldn't target AJ much if he plays and he's iffy, but have him run mostly deep routes to keep the D honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
