Around the NFL: Miami’s Green out for season

There will be no comeback this season by Trent Green, leaving the Miami Dolphins with an uncertain quarterback situation yet again.

Green was placed on injured reserve Saturday, shelving him for the rest of the season following his second severe concussion in 13 months.

The 37-year-old said he has made no decision about playing next year. A series of test results were normal following the latest injury Oct. 7, but doctors were concerned about possible long-term effects and declined to clear him to play.

By putting Green on injured reserve, the winless Dolphins freed up a spot on the 53-man roster, which they used to activate receiver Kerry Reed from the practice squad.

“At this point, this is the best thing for Trent and the team,” coach Cam Cameron said. “The doctors have prescribed rest for now. No long-term decisions regarding Trent’s future have been made.”

Baker out against Bengals

Jets tight end Chris Baker won’t play in New York’s game at Cincinnati after he was downgraded from questionable to out with a back injury.

Baker, who has 12 catches for 124 yards and two touchdowns, was limited in practice all week and didn’t accompany the team to Cincinnati. It was unclear when Baker was hurt and it’s against the Jets’ policy to discuss injuries.

Baker’s agent, Cliff Brady, referred questions by the Associated Press about the injury to the team and was unsure how long the tight end might be sidelined.

“I’m not a doctor,” Brady said. “So, I’d rather not speculate.”
