Zac Taylor stated “He feels A.J. Green should be back before 8 weeks “ I thought all along Green would miss way more games than just two. The fact that they even make this statement makes me think the injury was serious.

6 weeks would have had him miss one game and 8 weeks could have brought him back Week 4. Zac knows that the fans hang on every word concerning injuries to star players.
"He's somebody that we gotta make a designation on right now and feel like we're going to get him back in the first eight weeks," Taylor told local reporters. "We're just going to continue to carry him on the roster."
"Right now, everything's been on schedule, and we intend on him coming back the first half of the season," Taylor said. Green has not spoken to the media since he the injury occurred on July 27.

Even mentioning half the season really worries me. Please God, don't let Eifert get hurt again, because I don't think we have a chance with just Boyd and Mixon carrying the load.

Not that I'm counting on it, but there is a chance that Willis will fill in very nicely in AJ's absence, the other TE's step up and Mixon's able to break lose and gain yardage beyond the paltry running game yardage of the past few seasons. They're gonna have to as I don't expect the D to hold many teams from scoring in droves with a LB core of what we have.. I could be wrong though..
