CINCINNATI (AP) -- Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Kelley Washington was excused from the team's preseason opener Sunday to have a previous neck injury evaluated.

Washington was in Dallas seeing a doctor, and the Bengals don't know when he'll return, team spokesman Jack Brennan said.

The 6-foot-3, 218-pound Washington, a third-round draft pick from Tennessee, had surgery last November to fuse two vertebrae in his neck because of a concussion he got while playing last season.
