ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bengals receiver Chad Johnson was carted off the field late in the fourth quarter of Cincinnati's game at Buffalo on Sunday.
Johnson was hurt when he was sandwiched by Bills defenders Donte Whitner and Coy Wire, while attempting to make a diving catch over the middle with 1:53 remaining. Johnson dropped the ball and lay face down on the field at the Bills 37 as the game was delayed for about 10 minutes.
Johnson, who has been bothered by an ankle injury, was able to move his legs as team trainers attended to him.
Before being carted off, members of both teams gathered around Johnson, who had his neck immobilized. Johnson had taken a big hit earlier in the game, when he was knocked face first into the sideline by cornerback Terrence McGee.
Johnson had three catches for 48 yards.
The Bengals had no immediate update on the severity of the Johnson's injury.
