A.J. Green questionable to return vs. Panthers with groin injury UPDATE:Early in the third quarter Jake Fisher Jersey , A.J. Green got injured again. This time, he came down hard on his back after attempting to catch a contested pass across the middle. After staying down briefly, Green got up and walked over to the sideline, where he continues to be examined by trainers. The team has since announced it’s a groin injury and originally said Green is probable to return, but he’s been downgraded to questionable. That doesn’t sound good. He’s currently been sitting on the sidelines Womens Andrew Billings Jersey , but it doesn’t look like he’s returning.We’ll keep you posted as more details come out. In the meantime, Tyler Kroft and Andrew Billings are also injured.The Bengals had an injury scare with star wide receiver A.J. Green against the Panthers. Midway through the first quarter, Green suffered what looked like a head injury as he was diving for a pass in the end zone. He dove for a ball and went face first into the ground, then came up woozy before heading to the sideline to be examined by trainers.However, it appears Green is fine and was about to go back into the game before the Bengals punched it in for a touchdown to go up 7-0 on the Panthers. The Bengals are already without Joe Mixon and Billy Price on offense Womens John Miller Jersey , so losing Green for any stretch would be brutal for this offense, which has looked very dangerous when it’s clicking. The good news is Tyler Boyd really stepped up on that drive and helped move the offense even when Green wasn’t touching the ball. We will update this story if any more details come out on it. UPDATE 1Green is fine and back in the game.Marvin Lewis shouldn’t dismiss idea of a clock management specialist Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis was recently asked if he had considered hiring a clock management specialist like the Los Angeles Rams have. Lewis responded by stating that their head coach Sean McVay also calls their offense so, “maybe that is something he feels he needs help with.” That is an odd stone throw by a man with a glass office at Paul Brown Stadium. Lewis, like many NFL head coaches, has had his issues with clock management. Here is a bit of anecdotal evidence to support why the Bengals should have someone responsible for clock management Trey Hopkins Jersey ,September 27th, 2015The Bengals led the Baltimore Ravens 28-24. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has just failed to connect with tight end Maxx Williams on 4th and 17, giving the ball back to the Bengals with 1:35 remaining in the 4th quarter. Lewis evidently thinks that the game is over as he sends quarterback Andy Dalton and the Bengal’s offense out to kneel on the ball. It is impossible to know what is going through Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh’s head, but what he does is brilliant. The Ravens have one time out remaining, but they don’t use it immediately. They let the Bengals take another knee on 2nd down before using their timeout. This obviously catches Lewis off guard Cordy Glenn Jersey , and he uses a timeout of his own to figure out what to do. There are now 53 seconds remaining. If the Bengals took a third knee they would likely only get the clock down to around 10 seconds before 4th down. They give the ball to Giovani Bernard who gains 7 yards and burns a few extra seconds off of the clock. Lewis lets the play clock tick down as far as possible then calls a timeout with 6 seconds remaining. The Bengals again run the ball with Bernard on 4th down and time runs out. Although the odds of the Ravens pulling off the win at this point were incredibly low, the Bengals gave them a slight chance.This situation could have been avoided. Knowing that the Ravens had a timeout, the Bengals should not have taken a knee on first down. It is simple math. The play clock is 40 seconds, so a team can use about 43 seconds per play if the quickly kneel after the snap (this can obviously be extended a little if the quarterback waits to be pressured before kneeling). Since the Ravens had a timeout the Bengals could only hope to take about a minute and a half off the block by kneeling. Taking a knee on the first two downs prevented them from gaining yards and taking additional time off the clock.The Bengals should have gone into this situation with the mindset of getting the first down. They took a knee when they couldn’t guarantee running out the clock. This was a dumb move, but they got lucky.
