The Bengals have released Green-Ellis (hip), the team's official site reports. The move was largely predictable, after the Bengals drafted fellow running back Jeremy Hill in May's NFL draft. Green-Ellis, who has been dealing with hip pointer, figures to catch on elsewhere assuming his health and depending on where he lands, it's conceivable that he can reclaim some fantasy utility in deeper formats, especially in the event that he finds himself in his new team's short-yardage mix.
