Edit: Despite multiple reports, including Hobson, stating Zac said Green will play Sunday, there are now reports that Green wasn't a participant at practice today. 

Zac has now stated Green is day-to-day.

Edit:  And now he has been ruled out.

If we win immediately upon his return (LOL!), how does that change the narrative around here?

2 very significant new variables - Ryanfinley + AJ, no Dalton.

Of course, we're not winning, so it matters not.

probably on limited snap count.  Green is out of football shape and will take time to get back but this will help Finley.

I will this Sunday to see how Finley performs.  My hope is that he does well enough so that the Bengals can pass on QB this year in draft, at least not the overall first pick in draft.  If Finley performs poorly these last few games, Burrow will be the Guy is my guess.

I'm not sure what that has to do with the topic that Green will be making his first start this year.  The thread title wasn't, "Green will play this week. I wonder if people will watch the game."   

That said and since you asked I think there will be some interest in watching how Finley does.

Joe Burrow is not a top 5 pick. He's benefiting from a brand new system at LSU that is making him look much better than he actually is. He's a day two guy, but teams will overdraft him based on these numbers.

There are 2 QBs who should be considered top 5 picks - Herbert and Tua.

Glad to have him back. Finley could use the help.

I've been so disgruntled with the Bengals this year that I've stopped watching pretty much all NFL completely. I didn't even bother getting NFL Red Zone for $10/month.

My eyes tell me something differently.  LSU uses a pro-ready offense and Burrow makes all the throws look easy.  Tua is hobbling on two twisted ankles and has just as many pro ready team mates as burrow.  Herbert is intriguing but is a little jumpy under pressure.  He misses throws sometimes by a lot.

I watch every minute of every game. Cause i'm a "real fan".

Not mad atcha for having a different opinion. I'm not in love with any of these guys, but I'd take Hebert.

In a perfect world, we get Chase Young or Andrew Thomas with our first pick and take a Burrow-type in 2 or 3.

It's easy for someone to say that if you just look at numbers, compared to other guys or what they've done before. If you watch how they do situationally, then you get a better idea how they can or can't translate to the NFL.

Not so fast, folks.

Green was not at practice today

EDIT: I’m technologically impaired and cannot post the tweet here. Paul Dehner posted the news

I like Thomas and Kindley combo, also Young and Kindley combo for rounds 1-2,  that is why I think Green helps Finley look better this week.  Let us hope Finley can be decent.

Hopefully Glenn will play also. He is nothing special but he is better than what we have been running out there.

Nothing helps a rookie QB more than a great WR and some better LT play.

[J24]

And he isn't practicing

[RunKijanaRun]

Updating a previous item, A.J. Green (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
He was expected to practice in full, and coach Zac Taylor spoke to the media earlier Wednesday, saying Green is likely to make his season debut this week. It's unclear what's going on, but it's only Wednesday, so Green can easily still suit up Sunday. For now, we'll consider Green questionable for Week 10.

I'm nervous to take someone with a Top 5 pick who only had one really good season in 4 years. I understand that watching the film can ease that nervousness but it's always going to be there somewhat for me with any prospect. I just get thoughts of Mark Sanchez.

Well Green Didn't Practice today.. .and was suppose to be full go.
