Bengals made right move by sitting A.J. Green, but decision came too late

CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals made the right move by pulling the plug on A.J. Green’s season.

They just made that decision a few days too late.

Green hasn't played a snap since he was carted off two plays into a game against the Bills in Week 11 with a Grade II hamstring tear. All along, the Bengals have said that he would return this season if he was healthy, regardless of whether the team is in the playoffs or not.

They apparently changed their mind on Friday night. But at that point, with Green already in Houston on Christmas weekend, it was too late.
