AJ Green carted off field with hamstring injury
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green suffered a hamstring injury early in his team’s game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
The team said Green was questionable to return after he was hit by Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore on an incomplete pass. The star wideout was in enough pain that he had to be carted off the field.

It goes without saying that the Bengals cannot afford to lose Green for any period of time. With a record of 3-5-1, Cincinnati is already losing ground in both the AFC North division race and the wild card picture. Their offense will struggle without its best playmaker.
