Bengals right tackle Andre Smith hurts ankle

CINCINNATI (AP) Bengals right tackle Andre Smith hurt his left ankle and limped to the locker room for an examination during the second quarter against Jacksonville on Sunday.

A player rolled onto the back of Smith's leg as he blocked on Andy Dalton's 19-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Sanu for a 7-3 lead. Smith removed his helmet and stayed on his back for several minutes before limping off.

The Jaguars lost right guard Brandon Linder to a shoulder injury in the first quarter, leaving him questionable for the rest of the game. Linebacker Jeremiah George suffered an ankle injury and also was questionable to return.
