Green missed Saturday's practice with an upper-body injury, Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Coach Barry Trotz said the injury wasn't anything major, describing the absence as being for "maintenance" purposes. Even if Trotz's words prove to be true, there's no denying that Green is historically a liability in the health department, closing the door on his days as an elite fantasy blueliner. However, if you can reconcile his strong per-game scoring totals with the fact that he'll likely miss a good chunk of time, Green can still offer some value at that right price.
