Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver A.J. Green may be on the sideline longer than originally anticipated.
While reports claimed Green was expected to miss at least two games with a toe injury, a December return appears more likely, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
If the wideout does not re-enter the lineup until December, he'll miss at least the Bengals' next three games - against the New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, and Cleveland Browns.
Any extended absence from Green would be a massive hit to Cincinnati's offense, though Tyler Boyd and John Ross could see an increase in targets as the next two receivers on the team's depth chart.
The seven-time Pro Bowler has accumulated 45 receptions, 687 yards, and six touchdowns in eight games this season.
