Cincinnati Bengals saga: 90 minutes after Zac Taylor says A.J. Green will play, he misses practice
“It came after the walkthrough,” Taylor said. “He went and got some treatment. It just didn’t feel great, so we held him out of practice today. Now, we’ll go just by day-by-day. We felt good about the progress he was making. That’s why I said what I said. I didn’t feel like he could practice today. We’ll get through tonight and see where it’s at (Thursday).”
Cincinnati Bengals QB Ryan Finley is nervous but excited for Sunday more than anything
It’s been more than a week since Taylor shook up Cincinnati. Since then, Finley’s had a few practices as the team’s starting quarterback. The rookie conceded to The Enquirer that he’s nervous going into Sunday but declared that his jitters are a positive feeling.
Matchup Of The Game: 'Cat and Mouse Game All Day'
The only guys older than that game on Finley’s starting offense are in front of him in 32-year-old left tackle Andre Smith and 27-year-old center Trey Hopkins. Of the four wide receivers Finley called into work for some overtime on Tuesday’s day off, only Alex Erickson was around back then and he was just three weeks old when David Klingler got the call.
A.J. Green sits out of Wednesday's practice as the Bengals continue to prep for the Ravens.
A.J. Green headed out to Wednesday morning’s walk through expecting to follow it up with his first full practice of the season in the afternoon and then playing in his first game of the season Sunday (1 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Local 12) at Paul Brown Stadium against then Ravens.
Zac Taylor and quarterback Ryan Finley answered questions from the media heading into Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens.
“It’s an exciting week for us. It’s another work week in our normal rhythm. We had the extra practice last week and an extra practice on Monday. The players were off yesterday, so now we’re ready to roll. Again, this will be a good divisional game at home. Our guys are excited. It’s a team we’ve played once before. They’re having a great season right now. They’re doing some good things, so our guys are really excited for the challenge and the great opportunity to start the second half of the season the right way. I saw our guys’ approach today and all of the installs have been good. We had the chance to get out on the field, and I know the weather is turning a little bit. That’s exciting. That’s fun. That’s life in the AFC North.”

Week 10 Preview: Ravens-Bengals
The Bengals rank last in the NFL in total defense and against the run. The Ravens have the league's No. 1 rushing offense and should be able to exploit those weaknesses, Look for running backs Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill to carry more of the load from Lamar Jackson. The Bengals do not have much of a pass rush, so there's no reason for Jackson to be scrambling too much out of the pocket. The Ravens will look to take an early lead and put the Bengals away.

David Johnson (ankle) 'definitely playing' vs. Bucs
The 27-year-old running back added that he was close to a return last week but was kept on the sideline out of precaution. With just one carry in Week 7, Johnson hasn't seen a real workload since Oct. 13.
Zeke admits other RBs have played better this season
Elliott declined to name any specific players who have sprinted out in front of him this season, but two obvious choices could be Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook. CMC leads running backs with a 5.3 yards per attempt among players with at least 100 totes, and is an MVP candidate with 1,244 scrimmage yards, 881 rushing yards (second-most in the NFL), and a league-high 13 total TDs. Cook, meanwhile, leads the NFL in rushing (894) and is second in scrimmage yards (1,232), rushing TDs (9) and owns the second-highest percent of his team's scrimmage yards in 2019 (34.3).

Patrick Mahomes a full participant at Chiefs practice
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the quarterback would practice Wednesday, and the team would increase his workload "a little bit more" this week to see how his knee responds. So far so good as he was a full participant for the first time since he was injured. Mahomes' practice particpation suggests he could be on the verge of returning to game action.
