AJ Green may be out a while.

Tore up his ankle in practice. Possibly torn ligaments.

He''s a great talent but incredibly injury prone.

 

Cincy is snakebitten. They seriously have the worst luck with injuries

 

They have a similar situation as Steelers - Tyler Boyd (HTP!) was not nearly as productive without Green on the field last year and the Jury's still out on JuJu without Brown. Hoping the parallels stop there.

 

Neither Eifert nor AJ Green can stay consistently healthy for the Bengals. It will be up to Tyler Boyd and Mixon to carry the Bengals this season. Just not enough weapons for Dalton and company to make a difference. This may be a very weak AFC North this year. It most likely will come down to the Clowns and the Steelers and which one finishes 10-6 or better.

On a side note a lot of people are saying the terrible field condition attributed to the injury but after seeing the replay it was clearly a badly under thrown ball by Dalton that AJ had to slow up for and Kirkpatrick thus landing on his ankle when they both came down. Very unfortunate for the Bengals in what was a 1 hr, no pads practice session for them.

 

This is why the Steelers very rarely pay big money to players on
third contracts unless you are a QB . Their bodies are breaking down
and they can become a liability.

 

He is the only bungle I don't hate. Trade Tomlin and a 2nd for him.
