Bengals receiver A.J. Green hurt, carted off during 1st practice
DAYTON, Ohio — Near the end of a festive afternoon commemorating the NFL's centennial season, the Cincinnati Bengals watched A.J. Green get carted off the field with an injury that left the receiver distraught.
"You never want to see that," quarterback Andy Dalton said. "It's unfortunate."
One practice into coach Zac Taylor's inaugural season, the last-place Bengals saw their most indispensable player crumple on the field. Green ran a deep sideline pattern during a 7-on-7 drill. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick bumped him as he knocked away the pass, and Green appeared to land awkwardly on the left foot.
