Cincinnati, OH -- (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals placed wide receiver Antonio Chatman on injured reserve on Wednesday, ending his season. Chatman, who also returned punts, suffered a cervical injury in Sunday's 13-13 tie with the Philadelphia Eagles.Chatman was carted off the field late in the second quarter of Sunday's game. On 3rd-and-16 at the Cincinnati 41, Chatman took the pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick and ran for an 11-yard gain before he was hit by Eagles safety Quintin Mikell. Mikell and Chatman knocked helmets, and the receiver's arms went limp as soon as he was hit. Chatman, who fumbled on the play, stayed down and the game was stopped so medical personnel could attend to the sixth-year receiver. Chatman was immobilized on a stretcher and carted off the field. The catch was the only reception of the game for the 29-year-old wideout, who has 21 receptions for 194 yards this season, his third with the Bengals. The Bengals also issued their injury report for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, and offensive tackle Levi Jones (back), safety Chinedum Ndukwe (foot), and guard Andrew Whitworth (ankle) were all declared out. Also on Wednesday the Bengals added offensive tackle Dennis Roland to the active roster from the practice squad.
