Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green sustains arm injury vs. Broncos
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green sustained a right arm injury in Monday night's game against the Denver Broncos.
The injury occurred in the first quarter. Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton targeted Green on a pass but was high on the throw, leaving Green to take a hit directly on his arm from Broncos safety T.J. Ward.
Denver cornerback Aqib Talib intercepted the ball on the play and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown to give the Broncos a 7-0 lead.
Green was listed by the Bengals as probable to return and did eventually come back onto the field with a wrap on his arm. But he was clearly limited and in pain, and Green had to again leave the game on multiple occasions.
