That is a good point.
While AJ does not show signs of an Antonio Brown level sense of self importance, I am sure he has a certain amount of Pride in his abilities and he may think that his impact on the field would have improved the Bengals win record so far this season had he played.
Not sure how many extra wins he may believe he would have brought so far in 2019 had he played but a player's personal ego can factor into his belief in the team he is on.
AJ handles any personal pride/ego very well especially when compared to Antonio Brown who thinks the World revolves around him and his abilities.
