Bengals Jermaine Gresham and Marvin Jones Probable Against Dallas

Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham was very spotty this week, dealing with a hamstring that limited him to position drills on Wednesday and Friday, while sitting out of Thursday's practice entirely.

The Cincinnati Bengals listed Gresham as probable, which signifies a 75 percent chance of playing, against the Dallas Cowboys this weekend.

Marvin Jones, dealing with an illness this week and forced to sit out on Wednesday, is also probable; though he was full participation on Thursday and Friday.

Dre Kirkpatrick Out Against The Dallas Cowboys

A.J. Green Out Sick But Jermaine Gresham Returns

With Jermaine Gresham on the sideline during Thursday's practice with a hamstring, it would be a mini-disaster if wide receiver A.J. Green were to miss practice on Friday.

According to those on the ground, Green sat out during Friday's practice but not for any injury. He's reportedly ill, which is somewhat expected during a cool and rainy Cincinnati morning.

However Jermaine Gresham returned to the field Friday.

Jermaine Gresham Misses Practice On Thursday

The Cincinnati Bengals could be without tight end Jermaine Gresham, who is dealing with a hamstring. After being limited on Wednesday, Gresham sat during Thursday's practice.

If he's unable to go, the Bengals would have to start Orson Charles, who would be the team's fourth rookie in the starting lineup on Sunday -- including Marvin Jones -- and seventh starter with two years of experience or less; eight if we include Andrew Hawkins in three-wide formation.

If Gresham returns to practice on Friday, his chances to play on Sunday are significantly more optimistic. But if he sits, it's extremely unlikely he'll play Sunday, forcing the Bengals to start Charles.
