The top priority for preseason play continues to be this: Stay healthy enough to play in the regular season.

On Sunday night in Jacksonville, a pair of key Bengals failed to stay healthy.

Cornerback Adam Jones and receiver A.J. Green each have suffered leg injuries in the team’s Week Three preseason game against the Jaguars. The injury to Jones happened prior to the start of the game, in a innocuous-looking drill near the sideline. After backpedaling, Jones came up limping. He is out of uniform and not playing.

Green suffered a leg injury during the game itself. He tried to keep playing after developing a noticeable limp, before exiting the game.

The Bengals say Green’s injury isn’t serious, and that he’d stay in the game if it were a game that counts. Then again, Tony Romo’s injury supposedly wasn’t serious, either.
