The Facts: The Bengals won’t have Green on the field for Week 1 against the Seahawks. This much was quietly confirmed when coach Zac Taylor revealed undrafted wideout Damion Willis will start in Green’s place. But a first-hand account of Sunday’s practice ahead of another Thursday preseason game illustrated the underlying point about Green. From ESPN’s Ben Baby: “Green was briefly in the locker room today. Still had a boot on his left foot and using the push scooter. Didn’t have an update on his potential return, either.”

Diehards Line:Initially, after Green’s injury in Dayton to open training camp, Taylor had said he hopes Green only misses a few games. Seattle was always in doubt, but it’s interesting little is being said about Green’s status, so we only have the visuals to work with. For what it's worth, Jay Morrison of the Athletic.com, a Week 3 return would be the "best-case scenario" for Green.
