Cincinnati Bengals receiver A.J. Green is out for Sunday's playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts with a concussion, the team announced Saturday. Green had initially been listed as doubtful.

Green was concussed in the fourth quarter of Cincinnati's Week 17 game. He practiced on a limited basis Thursday but did not practice Friday.

Green was also slowed by a toe injury earlier this season. In 12 games this season, he has 69 catches for 1,041 yards and six touchdowns. He led the Bengals in all three categories.

Nick Fairley doubtful, Calvin Johnson probable for Lions

Cincinnati travels to Indianapolis for a Wild Card round game against the Colts on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The Bengals were shut out against the Colts in Week 7, a game Green missed with his toe injury. 

The Bengals are seeking to win their first playoff game since the 1989 season.
