CINCINNATI (AP) — The black stool rested upside-down in A.J. Green’s locker — not a site the Bengals wanted to see coming out of their bye
week .Green was getting his injured right foot examined on Monday while his
teammates returned from a week off that helped some of them heal
http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-nick-vigil-jersey , but not one of their most valuable players. Green hurt his right foot during a
37-34 win over Tampa Bay heading into the bye.Green wore a protective boot last
week and was sent for an exam by a specialist. Coach Marvin Lewis said Monday
afternoon that the receiver won’t need surgery, but he gave no indication of
when he might be able to play again.The Bengals (5-3) will likely be missing
their most indispensable receiver heading into a game Sunday against the Saints
(7-1) at Paul Brown Stadium.“Obviously it puts a lot of pressure on us as
individuals because we know what he brings to the table,” tight end C.J. Uzomah
said. “I mean, he’s A.J. Green. A.J. Dream is what we call him — it’s a dream to
have him on the team.”For now, the dream is gone.Green leads the Bengals with
687 yards receiving and six touchdown catches. When the Bengals need the big
catch at the end of a close game, Green is Andy Dalton’s top choice. His
touchdown catch with 7 seconds left gave the Bengals a 37-36 win over the
Falcons on Sept. 30. During the win over the Buccaneers, Green had catches of 23
and 11 yards that moved the Bengals in range for Randy Bullock’s 44-yard field
goal on the final play. Green hurt his foot on the final catch.Cincinnati’s
offense has been depleted by injuries to its tight ends — Tyler Eifert is out
for the season with a broken ankle — and injuries to both running backs. Joe
Mixon missed two games after knee surgery, and Giovani Bernard has missed the
past four games with a knee injury.Now
http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-william-jackson-jersey , they have to get by without Green.“Hopefully through that time, whether it’s
this week or next week or whenever, we’ve got an opportunity to grow and get
better with other people,” Lewis said.Green is always the focus of opposing
defenses. Tyler Boyd has benefited from a lot of single coverage this season and
leads the team with 49 catches, four more than Green. Now the Saints and other
teams can focus more on him and the running backs.“From a perspective of looking
at their defense, it’ll change some of the ways they roll,” Uzomah said. “A lot
of teams account for A.J., obviously
Mark Walton Jersey White , so we’ll expect that they’ll have something different lined up for us.”The Bengals trail the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2-1) for
the AFC North lead. They’re in the most favorable stretch of their schedule,
playing the second of four home games during a five-game span. They play at
Baltimore (4-5) the following week.The Steelers beat the Ravens 23-16 on Sunday
and host Carolina on Thursday night. The Saints knocked off the previously
unbeaten Rams 45-35 for their seventh straight victory .GIO, ROSS BACKBernard
returned to practice on Monday, a sign he’s getting close to returning. Receiver
John Ross also practiced. He missed three of the past four games with a groin
injury.STILL SIDELINEDLinebacker Vontaze Burfict (hip), guard Clint Boling
(back), Uzomah (shoulder) and cornerback Darqueze Dennard (shoulder) didn’t
participate in practice.ADDING A RECEIVERThe Bengals put defensive end Carl
Lawson on injured reserve with a torn ACL suffered against Tampa Bay. Receiver
Auden Tate was promoted from the practice squad. The Bengals also signed long
snapper Clark Harris to a two-year extension through 2020. The Bengals bolster
their backfield."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections #BITESIZEFilm RoomRoster

6Adam Hagy-USA TODAY SportsWith the 182nd pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the
Cincinnati Bengals have selected Texas A&M Aggies running back Trayveon
Williams.After the team cut Mark Walton this offseason
Womens Tyler Kroft Jersey , there was an expectation the team would find a late-round running back this year, and they got a good one in Round 6. Williams
was projected as a Round 4 prospect by NFL.com and compared to Jets running back
ELijah McGuire. The SEC rushing champion in 2018, Williams set a single-season
school record 1,760 yards with 18 touchdowns. He did so while running behind the
offensive line of one Jim Turner, who became the Bengals’ offensive line coach
this offseason. Williams is a very good back when you turn on the tape, but what
hurt his NFL stock is his 5-8, 206-pound frame. He’s going to need to bulk up
for a year or two before he’s ready for a big NFL workload.Look for Williams to
eventually become the No. 2 back behind Joe Mixon if Giovani Bernard leaves via
free agency in 2020. For now, Williams will likely fight for a special teams
role and occasional snaps behind the two veterans. Bengals’ remaining top draft
needs are:DE
