Cincinnati Bengals seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green left Saturday’s practice with an apparent lower body injury. Initial, pre-MRI diagnosis suggested that it was minor, a sprained ankle. But actual diagnosis Sunday proved the injury to be more significant than was hoped. And there’s more to the story as well.
AJ Green tore ligaments in his ankle practicing at the University of Dayton’s Welcome Stadium, as part of NFL’s 100th-anniversary celebration. Field conditions were considered subpar; more scrutiny expected over decision to practice there. Green expected to be sidelined 6-8 weeks
