A.J. Green to Sit This Weekend as Waiting Game on Investigation Continues

Georgia officials continue to wait for word from the NCAA over whether wide receiver A.J. Green has run afoul of rules and what penalty he will serve if he has.

The NCAA has reportedly been investigating Green since July and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Internet rumors say Green is being examined for the possibility of selling a game-worn jersey. An athletic department attorney declined to confirm that report to the paper Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, the Journal-Constitution reports that while Green is off the team's depth chart for Saturday's SEC East showdown with South Carolina and was held out of the season opener against Louisiana-Lafayette, coach Mark Richt continues to practice Green with a hope that he will be cleared to play this week.

"I'd be highly disappointed if we don't hear something this week," Richt said to the Journal-Constitution. "I would think we will."
