Bengals' Joseph Ossai: Getting MRI on knee
Ossai is scheduled to get an MRI after his knee buckled late in Sunday's 23-20 AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs, Andrew Gillis of Cleveland.com reports.
To add insult to injury, Ossai also was called for a crucial penalty on the play, as his injury occurred while the defensive end was delivering a late hit out of bounds on scrambling quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

With Cincinnati's season over, Ossai will have plenty of rehab time if the MRI discovers any damage to the knee.
