Bengals’ AJ Green carted off, may miss rest of season

He has 91 carries for 337 yards and two rushing touchdowns this year, along with 39 catches for 336 yards and a receiving touchdown. He rolled over onto his back and immediately grabbed his right hamstring. Watkins is eligible to return for the game against the Jags, if he is healthy enough to play. He was helped to the sideline and taken by cart to the locker room for examination. The Bengals weren’t so fortunate as Nugent’s misses came into play late in a 16-12 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Without Green, Dalton had a rough afternoon, going 24 of 43 for 207 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for a 57.0 rating. The Bengals are 3-6-1.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Sunday evening that it could be “upward of eight weeks” until the rookie running back returns.

In what was a tightly contested game that came down to a last-second prayer by Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, Taylor commended Buffalo’s defense for limiting an offense that came into Week 11 with the NFL’s No. 8 ranked offense that averaged 380.8 yards-per-game.

Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck has thrown for 186 yards and two touchdowns to give the Colts a 21-7 lead over the Tennessee Titans. If McCoy is either unable to play, or if he’s limited against the Jaguars, Gillislee will likely see his role increase as it did against Cincinnati.

The injuries are a flawless example why head coach Marvin Lewis said on Friday they’ll wait to see what develops since they can activate Peerman or Jackson at any time.

Green is far and away the Bengals’ top receiver. The Bengals will have to figure on playing without him for the foreseeable future.

“These guys work incredibly hard to get the ball down the field, and when you can’t connect, it’s just one of those things where you’ve got to do a better job to keep your team in it”, said Nugent.

Some familiar problems returned as well.

The Bengals have definitely lost running back Giovanni Bernard for the season due to a torn ACL. The Bengals ran for a total of 93, only 3.4 yards per carry. Dalton had 10 of the yards.

The first half has ended in all the early games. The offense fell flat after that, though, recording one first down before the final drive with four consecutive three-and-outs.

Bernard did more than provide Hill with a breather.
