What had started as a fan-friendly hot afternoon in Dayton took a nerve-racking turn at the conclusion of a go route run by Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green.
Green ran down the sideline and tried to receive a football thrown by quarterback Andy Dalton during the last portion of 7-on-7 drills. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick broke up the pass and the two players fell to the ground.
Kirkpatrick got up with a slight limp, but it was Green who stayed on the turf.
Green was eventually attended to by the Bengals’ medical staff before he was carted off the field while the worried 7,500 spectators in attendance at Welcome Stadium chanted his name.
