Atkins left Cincinnati's 22-20 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins with a right knee injury Thursday night, later confirmed by Bengals coach Marvin Lewis via the team's official website to be a torn ACL. Atkins stayed down on the field for a long time after the injury, and had to be helped off the field by teammates. The two-time All-Pro player was carted off the field and taken to the locker room after.
