GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Takeo Spikes has a slightly torn chest muscle and is out two-to-four weeks.

Spikes got hurt while sacking Buffalo's Drew Bledsoe in the first quarter of the Bengals' 24-17 preseason victory Friday night.

"I caught Bledsoe and I slipped off him and he was falling," Spikes said. "I was trying to go for the extra effort and pick him up and trying to dump him, and then I just felt like a catch in my chest."
