"Wide receiver A.J. Green took a couple of steps toward playing Sunday against Cleveland when he got out on the practice field Wednesday.

Green sat out last week's 31-24 loss at Baltimore with a hyperextended right knee suffered while making a touchdown catch the previous week against Pittsburgh.

Speaking prior to practice on Wednesday, Green said he did have significant improvement and would try to practice but was unsure of his status for Sunday's game at Paul Brown Stadium.

"It's pretty tough not being out there and being able to help my team out," said Green. "But that comes with football. I'm just going to try to get healthy.""
