For the second year in a row and the fourth time in six years, the Cincinnati Bengals will have to play without star receiver A.J. Green after he suffered a left ankle injury during practice Saturday.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Green's MRI revealed torn ligaments in his ankle that will keep him out for six to eight weeks.
Schefter added Green isn't expected to be ready for Cincinnati's regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks on Sept. 8.
While losing Green for any amount of time is devastating for the offense considering his talent as a seven-time Pro Bowler, the Bengals at least know what to do without him based on his injury history.
