Cincinnati Bengals running back Giiovani Bernard was ruled out for Thursday’s game by head coach Marvin Lewis with hip and clavicle injuries.
Bernard’s absence against the Cleveland Browns pushes rookie Jeremy Hill into the featured back role. Hill rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start last week.
Wide receiver A.J. Green, who missed three games with a toe injury, returned to play last Sunday and caught a touchdown pass. He is expected to start Thursday night.
