The Cincinnati Bengals had a rough week last week. To go along with a loss to the Bills, they also lost offensive stars A.J Green and Giovani Bernard. Green left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, while Bernard suffered a torn ACL.
Reports during the week claimed that Green's injury could keep him out for the rest of the season. Although, head coach Marvin Lewis claimed that since Green's hamstring isn't torn, he could be back by the end of the year. For now, they have just ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Meanwhile, Bernard is still exploring procedure options for his torn ACL, but he is for sure done for the season. This is the second torn ACL of his career, as he also suffered one while at North Carolina. He did come back to record 2,481 rush yards and 31 touchdowns in his final two seasons with the Tar Heels. So the Bengals are hoping for that type of recovery for next year.
Elsewhere, the Chicago Bears received bad news to add to their tough season. Tight end Zach Miller is done for the season after suffering a broken foot in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Sources say that Miller will undergo surgery.
At the time of his injury, Miller was leading the Bears with three catches for 61 yards and a touchdown in the game. For the season, he leads the team with 47 catches and four touchdowns.
Miller received a new deal from Chicago after recording 34 receptions for 439 yards and five touchdowns last season. After dealing with injuries during the beginning of his career, the 32-year-old was active in 15 games last season, and all 10 games this year.
