The Cincinnati Bengals are in rarified air when it comes to having bad luck. They are clearly in Browns and Jets territory.

Zac Taylor and the Bengals, the only remaining winless team in the NFL, were finally going to welcome AJ Green back to the squad after he has missed the entire season with an ankle injury. However, Green didn't feel his best during today's walkthrough, and he's now considered day-to-day.

All it took was a few hours. Shoot this team into the sun.

Fourth-round pick Ryan Finley could have had the services of a seven-time Pro Bowler for his first career start against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, but he'll likely have to make do with Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate instead.

Who could have guessed a team that hasn't won a playoff game since 1991 and is run by a guy in Mike Brown could be a little snake-bitten? For the sake of all us football fans, get Green out of Cincinnati and get him playing with either a competent quarterback or on a playoff team, because this is getting grim.
