DENVER, CO - SEPTEMBER 18: Wide receiver A.J. Green #18 of the Cincinnati Bengals runs after making a catch against Cornerback Cassius Vaughn #41 of the Denver Broncos during the third quarter at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on September 18, 2011 in Denver, Colorado.

As we pointed out on Thursday, Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green was limited during practice, which was wonderful news for observing Bengals fans that watched the gutted wide receiver position after Jordan Shipley went down with a season-ending ACL injury and Jerome Simpson allegedly getting a hairbrained idea after watching an episode of Breaking Bad.

Even though Green was limited again on Friday, the purpose of sitting Green during team-based workouts (aka, 11-on-11) was nothing more than a precaution according to Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, saying that Green's toe was "a little sore". Green will start on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.

He played a bit in preseason.

Did ok, but nothing spectacular. Gave up a few plays. Hasn’t played regular season yet due to injury. A lot of people seem to be really high on him and thinking he’ll come in to our secondary and give it a huge boost. I think that’s unreasonable to expect at this stage, but hopefully he’ll be able to get the right training from our coaches to contribute and even maybe eventually be something special.

Thanks for the input

Im really impressed with your early performances and didnt see it coming. I thought AD would need a while to adjust, but the lockout has looked to favored the rookie QB’s so far. It’s too bad you guys have a dark cloud hovering over your players. I think the Benson suspension should be overruled, the commissioner is messing everything up with fines and rules. Great job Union pres!
