CINCINNATI -- Bengals receiver Antonio Chatman suffered a neck injury and was wheeled off the field as a precaution Sunday during the second quarter of a game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Chatman was hit high and hard by safety Quintin Mikell after he made a catch. Chatman fumbled the ball as Mikell brought him down with an arm around his neck.

The sixth-year receiver stayed on the ground on his back after the Eagles recovered the ball. He raised his right leg while trainers attended to him. Chatman was strapped to a back board and wheeled off the field.

X-rays were normal and Chatman had full movement in his arms and legs. He was taken for more diagnostic tests.

Coming into the game, Chatman was third on the team with 20 catches.
