The Cincinnati Bengals have stayed afloat in light of recent injuries but they will likely get wide receiver A.J. Green back this weekend in time for a matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
According to ESPN’s Cincinnati coverage, Green practiced with the team Wednesday for the first time in a month and is preparing as if he will be on the field for the Bengals this Sunday. Green has said that when he makes his return to the field he will not be on a snap count and will be all systems go.

Coach Marvin Lewis has been vague on Green’s status for this weekend’s game and said the team will evaluate how he practices before making a decision for the game. Green has missed the last four games for the Bengals and has caught 17 balls for 314 yards and two touchdowns in his limited action.
It wasn't all good news for the Bengals as they learned early Wednesday that linebacker Vontaze Burfict will miss two weeks after a knee surgery. Running back Gio Bernard is also questionable for Sundays game after an injury scare of his own last weekend. Jeremy Hill will get most of the snaps in the event that Bernard cannot play should be considered the handcuff to the Bengals starter.

Green is the No. 13 ranked wide receiver in fantasy football for Week 9 according to Fantasy Pro consensus rankings. Mohamed Sanu has been a solid replacement for Green for the Bengals and he remains the No. 16 wide receiver for Week 9.
Looks like A.J. Green will be practicing today. He has pads, helmet and jersey on. First Wednesday practice in a month. #Bengals
