Bad knee will sideline Bengals WR Bryant in Hall of Fame Game

GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- Wide receiver Antonio Bryant won't play in the Cincinnati Bengals' preseason opener because of his bad knee.

Bryant has been limited at training camp because his left knee isn't completely healthy. He had surgery on it a year ago. The Bengals signed Bryant to a four-year, $28 million deal in the offseason, but they aren't sure when he will be able to play.

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said Thursday that Bryant will sit out the annual Hall of Fame Game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Several other players are questionable with minor injuries.

Wide receiver Terrell Owens and cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones are expected to make their Bengals debuts against their former team. They played together for the Cowboys in 2008.
