The Cincinnati Bengals lost first-round center Billy Price to an injury Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens and he was later seen on the sideline in street clothes and a walking boot.

Defensive end Michael Johnson also went down with an injury and the team quickly declared him out.

According to the team’s official website, Price is dealing with a sprained ankle. Johnson sprained an MCL and “is probably going to miss at least a couple of games.”

The Bengals got a big performance from rookie end Sam Hubbard, which makes the loss of the veteran Johnson easier.

The same can’t be said for the situation at center.

While Trey Hopkins was serviceable, the former guard is still a downgrade and his effectiveness will largely depend on how well offense’s targets are getting open in the passing game.

The Bengals play Carolina and Atlanta next before getting back into AFC play. Price, at least, has an extended break here to get healthy before Week 3.
