Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green was limited for a second consecutive practice Thursday, lowering the likelihood he plays Sunday against Pittsburgh.

The Bengals will not announce Green’s official status until after Friday’s practice, but the fact t hat he hasn’t been able to be full go, especially Thursday when the Bengals practiced indoors at the University of Cincinnati bubble, doesn’t bode well for his chances of playing.

Another wide receiver appears ready to return and provide some depth with James Wright (knee) going full for the first time since injuring his knee in the Dec. 4 win against Philadelphia, and Brandon LaFell (knee) was upgraded to full after being limited Wednesday.

Cornerback Adam Jones (ankle) also was a full participant after sitting out Wednesday, as was defensive end Carlos Dunlap (neck), who was limited Wednesday.

Left guard Clint Boling (shoulder), safety Derron Smith (thigh) and tight end C.J. Uzomah (calf) were limited Thursday, while defensive end Wallace Gilberry (calf) and defensive end Margus Hunt (non-injury related) sat out.

Long snapper Clark Harris (groin) was full go for the second day in a row and third consecutive practice, making it likely he returns to action after sitting out the last three games.
