    <div class="inside-copy">ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) &mdash; Bengals receiver Chad Johnson was transported to a Buffalo-area hospital, complaining of neck pain after he was hurt late in Cincinnati's 33-21 loss to the Bills on Sunday.</div>
    <p class="inside-copy">BOX SCORE: Bills 33, Bengals 21</p>
    <p class="inside-copy">Coach Marvin Lewis said Johnson had movement in all of his extremities and was sent to a hospital as a precaution. Johnson had tests immediately after he was carted off the field before he was loaded into an ambulance about 20 minutes after the game was over.</p>
    <p class="inside-copy">Fellow receiver and good friend T.J. Houshmandzadeh jumped into the ambulance to be with Johnson. It's not clear if Johnson would be able to travel with the Bengals on their flight back to Cincinnati.</p>
    <p class="inside-copy">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.</div></p>

    It looked scary. He got crushed between those two Bills as he was diving for the ball. Hope he's all right.</p>

    It has been reported that he has movement in his extremities. I wish Ocho Cinco the best as well as a full and speedy recovery.</p>

    He went back to Cinci with the team. I think that was just the precautionary freak-out that will (and probably should) happen whenever someone is laying face-down like that, particularly in Buffalo. I didn't see it live and having only seen the video after the stories about Johnson's condition came out, the hit didn't look that bad. And, watching it on YouTube, you can see Johnson trying to lift himself up after going down and kicking at the ground.</p>

    As if everything else was going downhill for the Bengals. Hope he gets back to his antics after a speedy recovery.</p>
