A.J. Green Rumors: Injured Won't Return to Bengals Until After Trade Deadline

Cincinnati Bengals receiver A.J. Green reportedly isn't expected to return from injury until after the Oct. 29 trade deadline, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter added that "Green is coming along well but, according to a source, the Bengals want to ensure a complete recovery before he returns—with the organization looking out for the player's best interest beyond any single game."

Injuries have become an unfortunate occurrence in the 31-year-old's career in recent years. A hamstring tear limited him to 10 games in 2016, and he made just nine appearances in 2018 because of a toe injury.
