The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... HC Marvin Lewis said Monday, via the team, that Green doesn’t have a “long-term injury.” Lewis didn’t elaborate on the nature of the injury or how short a term the team is looking at, however.

Diehards Line: Green suffered what is believed to be a strained ligament in his foot early in the Bengals’ victory over the Falcons and any absence from a player of his stature is cause for concern. It doesn’t sound like anyone in Cincinnati is overwrought, however. As PFT suggests, if Green doesn’t practice this week or play against the Titans, he’ll have a lot of time to get ready for their Week 5 game against the Patriots because their bye will fall in between the two games.
