 Green has missed the past two games due to the toe injury he
originally suffered in the Bengals' season-opening victory over the
Ravens.
The Bengals were hoping Green could return to give a jolt to an
offense that began last week's game with eight consecutive
three-and-outs and finished with 135 yards in a 27-0 loss.
The Bengals ruled out linebacker Rey Maualuga with a hamstring
injury, and defensive tackle Brandon Thompson is questionable with a
knee injury.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Owen Daniels will not play this week and
appears doubtful for the next game, too, after undergoing minor

Cincinnati on Sunday.

missing the last two games with an ankle injury.

ankle injury, and Fozzy Whittaker is out with a quadriceps issue.

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning went off on the scoreboard
operator at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in his post-game
press conference Thursday night, saying, "It wasn't his best night."
Manning, four days after setting the NFL's all-time passing
touchdown record, was not happy when he heard the boos when the
scoreboard operator showed San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip
Rivers' face.
"I'm not sure what he's doing," Manning said of the scoreboard
operator. "He's playing music and showing our players dancing and
getting the crowd fired up when we have the ball. I don't think we
should be doing that. I don't think we should be showing their
quarterback on the sideline. I thought that was kind of
disrespectful."
