Arkansas Bengal Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 A.J. Green questionable for Sunday October, 31, 2014 Oct 31 2:45 PM ET By Coley Harvey | ESPN.com CINCINNATI -- All signs point to Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green playing in his first game in a month except for one. The Cincinnati Bengals' injury report. On it, he was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The fourth-year receiver practiced all this week in limited participation as he tries returning from the injury to his right big toe that has been problematic all season. He has missed the past three games because of it. It's possible he misses a fourth straight Sunday ahead of a short turnaround next week with a Thursday night tilt against the AFC North-rival Browns looming. That game has much more significance to Cincinnati's postseason hopes than Sunday's game against the 1-7, non-division Jaguars.Mohamed Sanu, the receiver charged with replacing Green in the parts of four games Green missed, accounted for more than 31 percent of the Bengals' offensive production in those games. With all the time Green has missed, Sanu is Cincinnati's leading receiver. So there are reasons for the Bengals to believe they will be all right leaving the pass-catching part of their offense in Sanu's hands for one more week. Aside from being questionable on the injury report, Green hasn't shown any ill effects of the injury in practice. He's still able to cut and run, albeit at slower speeds, much like he did before. "If everything stays the way it is, he'll play," coach Marvin Lewis said Friday. We'll keep our eye on Green when the Bengals first hit the field for warm-ups Sunday morning. In addition to Green, the Bengals' injury report also has running back Giovani Bernard listed out with hip and clavicle injuries. Defensive tackle Brandon Thompson who practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, is listed as questionable. He didn't practice on Friday, with Lewis saying Thompson was just being rested as the training staff continues to monitor his return.
