Bengals WR A.J. Green suffers groin injury in loss

Published: Sep 23, 2018 at 07:55 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green suffered a groin injury during Sunday's 31-21 loss to the the Carolina Panthers and did not return.

Green was declared questionable with the Panthers leading the Bengals, 21-14, in the third quarter. Green had five catches for 58 yards before exiting the game.

Considered one of the best wide receivers in the game, Green plays a vital role in the Bengals' offense. The team was already hampered on offense with second-year running back Joe Mixon and rookie center Billy Price out because of injuries.

It remains to be seen how serious the injury is for the two-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler.
