A.J. Green (ankle) could play for Bengals in Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) could make his season debut in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, according to head coach Zac Taylor.

What It Means:

Taylor wouldn't rule out Green for Week 8, but he said the receiver will not make his season debut until he practices in full. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday that Green will not make his season debut until after the October 29 trade deadline, so a Week 10 return following the Bengals' bye seems most likely. That's obviously assuming the contract year wideout isn't dealt elsewhere.

Operating under the optimistic assumption Green returns Week 8, he's the WR29 in our season-long fantasy rankings.
