Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle D.J. Reader could miss the rest of the season after suffering a left leg injury during Sunday’s 27-3 loss to the host Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Multiple reports identified the injury was to Reader’s quadriceps, though the Bengals announced it was a knee injury shortly after he was carted off the field in the third quarter.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor said after the contest that he had no updates to offer.

Reader had one tackle before exiting.

The fifth-year-pro is in his first season with the Bengals after spending his first four with the Houston Texans.

Also, longtime Cincinnati wideout A.J. Green suffered a hamstring injury in the contest. The 10-year veteran didn’t have a catch and was targeted once before departing.

In addition, defensive end Sam Hubbard exited with a left elbow injury.
