Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green has been ruled out for yet another week, coach Zac Taylor announced. Green is still expected to return, Taylor says, but his timetable remains murky.
Here’s what we do know: Green won’t play against the Ravens this week. He’s still recovering from surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left ankle and will need more time before practicing, even though he shed his protective boot in September.
Green missed seven games last season. Already this season (including the Baltimore tilt), he’s down six games. It’s not what the 0-5 Bengals envisioned for this year, nor is it what Green envisioned as he looks ahead to free agency.
Green pushed for an extension prior to the season, but the two sides were unable to get anything done before training camp, when Green suffered the injury. Now, he’s in limbo – with a limp.
Green, one of the game’s most productive WRs since entering the league in 2011, earned Pro Bowl honors in each of his first seven seasons and has topped 1,000 yards six times.
He will be traded. Why would he want to stay with the Bengals being so bad? And if he won’t stay, the Bengals should trade him and get something back for him. Watch him go to the Pats. Smh.
Trade him to the Patriots along with Eifert for a 3rd, 5th in 2020 and a 6th in 21. AJ is a free agent at the end of the year so a 3rd is a lot when you also include his injuries. Eifert has also been injured a lot. Not sure about his contract.
I think the Pats end up trading for Sanders at Denver and maybe Eifert if the Bengals move him.
I predict he goes to the Niners for draft picks
