AJ-don't shoot the messenger

[*pally*]

A.J. Green not in for this set of 11s. Was getting left hamstring looked at and stretched after last set of 7 on 7.
He’s still on field. No ice. But appears done for the day. #Bengals

I really want AJ to be back and healthy, but the odds of a 32-year-old WR missing the last year and a half with injuries and coming back without issue were very slim.

Hopefully it doesn't linger, but this is the second WR hamstring issue now. Is the strength and conditioning dept failing this team?

well if the players had been working out with the team's strength and conditioning team at any time during the off season, you could possibly blame them.  But they didn't so it is rather difficult at this point to put the blame on them

But aren't they also responsible for stretching and getting players loose? If not, who is and can we blame them then?

Lol at blaming strength and conditioning coaches for a couple of guys with unknown extent of possible injuries. Some of you guys need to relax. At least let them make an official injury report and update before you start freaking out.

I heard Larry Fitzgerald is nursing a hamstring, also. Maybe we can blame the Bengals’ strength and conditioning department?

Strains happen when you play sports.

He and Tee Higgins really are clones!

Just a hammy... for now. Burrows weapon list diminishing quickly. Auden Tate looking more viable each day.

Bengals WR A.J. Green said he was held out of the end of practice for precautionary reasons, per Zac Taylor. Said the team will see how he feels tomorrow.

Larry Fitzgerald is 37 years old and hasn't missed a game in 5 years and only missed 6 games in 16 years.

AJ Green has missed 23 games in the last 2 years (29 in the last 4).
Tyler Boyd has missed 8 games in the last 3 years.
John Ross has missed 24 games in the last 3 years.

Not really apples to apples there.

Yeah, whomever chose Tate as their "forgotten guy" is looking pretty strong with their prediction right now.

Uh, the players themselves???

No worries. Burrow will make stars out of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th string wideouts.

So, Mr. Apples-to-apples,  Since it apparently took TWO hamstring issues to raise your concern about our strength coaches who was the other one?

I’m comparing one hamstring injury to another hamstring injury.

[HarleyDog]

Sore hammy? soak it in cider.

Higgins

So right now Burrow is practicing with a WR group of Boyd/M Thomas/Erickson/Tate. That's not ideal.

Do we know if Higgins is not practicing? All I have seen is Boyd's comment but nothing else.

He's not practicing yet.

#Bengals not participating today: RB Rodney Anderson, WR Tee Higgins (on side), OL Alex Redmond, CB Trae Waynes (torn pec), DL Bryce Sterk (testing protocol exemption), DL Khalid Kareem, WR John Ross (COVID-reserve).

Do these guys even do Deadlifts to help strengthen their hamstrings? It should be a staple in their lifting regimen. Especially in the offseason.

[*Synric*]

Hamstrings are the most common injury in most sports.

It doesn't sound like AJ's was serious so he and Higgins will likely be practicing this week.
