Bengals WR Green likely out for exhibition opener

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green will likely not play in the team's exhibition opener next week because of a bruised left knee.

The team is being cautious with Green, who has not practiced since July 25.

The Bengals visit the Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 8. Green will not make the trip to Atlanta, according to the Bengals website.

The Bengals will fly to Atlanta a few days before the game to practice with the Falcons on Monday and Tuesday in Flowery Branch, Ga.

Bengals wide receivers Andrew Hawkins (ankle sprain) and Marvin Jones (undisclosed injury) are also injured. The team signed wide receiver Jheranie Boyd on Thursday.
