Cincinnati Bengals star receiver A.J. Green will be out for the rest of the season, as he's expected to undergo surgery on torn ligaments in his toe, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The injury will keep him sidelined for three-to-four months.

The perennial Pro Bowler was carted to the locker room after picking up the toe injury early in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.

Green had missed Cincinnati's previous three games with a foot injury.

The Bengals are already without starting quarterback Andy Dalton, who was placed on injured reserve after suffering a thumb injury on his throwing hand in Week 12.

Cincinnati carried a 5-3 record into its bye in Week 9, but the team has since dropped four straight to fall out of the playoff picture.
