There’s a reason A.J. Green threw his shoe yesterday, frustrated by his most recent foot/toe problem.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Bengals wide receiver is not expected to play this week after meeting with his foot specialist. PFT has confirmed that information as well.

That’s hardly a surprise, after the team’s own media outlet mentioned that a multiple-week rest period might be in order.

The problem with a ligament near his big toe has bothered him throughout the season, and leaves the Bengals thin at wideout heading into Sunday’s game against the cornerback-thin Panthers.

Marvin Jones hasn’t even begun practicing yet, so it’s unlikely we’ll see him soon.
