In the days leading up to Week 12 action against the Cleveland Browns, there are plenty of questions surrounding the availability of Cincinnati Bengals Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green due to a foot injury.

Green hasn't been able to take the field in any capacity this week, which has led to his status for the contest being up in the air. According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the 30-year-old has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

Green has been putting together a strong campaign, posting 45 catches for 687 receiving yards and six touchdowns in eight games played. He has remained the top receiver for the Bengals throughout this season behind his high level of production. It's kept him in the conversation as one of the best wide receivers in the league.

He is currently on pace to finish with 80 catches for 1,221 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. That would be the seventh time in Green's career he would have recorded 1,000 receiving yards and fourth with double-digit touchdowns.

If Green were to miss yet another game, the team will lean on third-year wideout Tyler Boyd, who is in the midst of a breakout campaign with 52 receptions for 685 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Boyd has proven that he can be a game-changing talent in the passing game and he has truly embraced and produced in a more significant role in the offense in the 2018 campaign.

Whether Green plays or not, the Bengals will count on Boyd to be a major part of the game plan as the team is looking to get back on track after a disappointing 24-21 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday.

There should be more clarity on Green's status in the coming days, but it is becoming more likely that he will be out of the lineup once again.
