What It Means:

Lewis called Green's outlook "partly sunny." It's quite possible Green is returning to the practice field with an eye toward suiting up in Week 16, though Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers obviously can't be ruled out. If Green responds well to his return on Thursday, the Bengals are going to have a hard time holding him out.

Green ranks 16th in Reception Net Expected Points per target among the 75 wide receivers with at least 50 targets.
