Bengals rookie center Billy Price (right ankle) and defensive end Michael Johnson (left knee) each left Cincinnati's Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens in the first quarter and were ruled out.

Cincinnati running back Joe Mixon also was hurt, going in and out of the game because of a right knee injury. He left briefly in the first half before returning, then left again in the third quarter and was deemed questionable to return.

Price, the team's first-round pick out of Ohio State in April, planted awkwardly on his right foot and was initially called questionable to return. He was then seen in the third quarter on the Bengals' sideline wearing street clothes and a boot on his right foot.

Johnson, a 10th-year veteran who has missed just four career games, left early in the first period and was immediately ruled out, but it was not apparent how he was injured.

Mixon, a 2017 second-round pick, had 51 total yards before leaving Thursday's game for the second time. He totaled 149 total yards and a touchdown in the season opener last week at Indianapolis.

Price missed much of the Bengals' offseason program with a torn pectoral muscle sustained at the NFL Scouting Combine, but he was healthy enough to claim a starting job in the preseason.
