Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco has been sidelined in the third quarter of the game with the New York Jets on Sunday night with a left knee injury.

Ochocinco made no receptions in the game.

He was joined on the sideline by defensive tackle Pat Sims, who broke his right forearm, and safety Tom Nelson, who hurt his left knee. The Bengals will host a wild-card playoff game next weekend, and the status of the three players for that game is uncertain.

Jets linebacker David Harris went out in the second half with an ankle problem. The Jets would not say which ankle he hurt.
