|High School Harry| Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 A.J. Green ruled out for season finale against Baltimore Wednesday, December 28th 2016, 2:21 pm ESTWednesday, December 28th 2016, 2:25 pm ESTBy Jeremy Rauch, Sports Anchor CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The Bengals ruled out six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green for Sunday’s game, after Marvin Lewis announced on Wednesday that Green would not play against Baltimore. Green said last week that he wanted to play on Christmas Eve in Houston, but after traveling with the team to Houston, Green was then told that he would not play. Green then decided to fly home on Friday night, according to Marvin Lewis. Green hasn’t played a down since he injured his hamstring on the first series of the Bengals’ 16-12 loss to the Bills on Nov. 20th. Sunday’s game against the Ravens will be the sixth straight game Green has missed due to his hamstring injury. Green ends the 2016 season with 66 receptions for 964 yards and 4 touchdowns. He was just 36 yards shy of joining Randy Moss as the only other NFL receiver to reach 1,000 yards in each of his first six seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I think this shows how inept and screwed up this organization is. 1) They should have put him on IR with Eifert and Boling if they knew he was not going to play to give some practice squad a promotion and some snaps if for nothing else but to brag to his grandchildren about some day. 2) Let him play long enough and catch enough passes at the sideline and run out of bounds to get his 36 yards and tie Moss, break the record next year. And they wonder why the fans are frustrated with this kind of crap. We need something to hang our hats on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, then he hurts the hamstring worse, and you're bitching because they let him play for a "meaningless" record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been participating in meaningless practices for weeks and it's the last game of the season. Let him play, shit like this is how you piss off a super star player and they force you to trade them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 A team source tells me Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict won't play this Sunday. That makes sense. The Bengals are eliminated and Burfict is reportedly still in concussion protocol. If the organization is going to be conservative with AJ Green why try to rush back a player who has had multiple concussions? http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0606112972800004417-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphead Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I wonder how many concussions Burfict has actually had in his short career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|westside bengal| Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Might as well sit Andy too. Why take a chance for a major injury on a "meaningless" game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Everyone who is complaining about him not playing are the same people that would be pissed if Efiert said no the playing the probowl last year. It's a lose lose situation no matter what this team does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 In talking with Bengals players today, here are the two main headlines: RB Jeremy Hill (knee) is unlikely to play on Sunday, and WR A.J. Green hasn't been around much this week. One player told me he hasn't seen Green in a single meeting since the wide receiver left Houston on Saturday. I'm told that's rare, even for an injured player. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0606205343235577971-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Montana Bengal| Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Katherine Terrell @Kat_Terrell 14m14 minutes ago Marvin Lewis said A.J. Green is a "rare, rare," person. Said any report of him being unhappy is easy to dispel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
