NFL: Bengals DE Antwan Odom out for season


By JOE KAY
AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI � Defensive end Antwan Odom will miss the rest of the season because of a torn Achilles� tendon, costing the Cincinnati Bengals their top pass rusher.
Odom had surgery on his right leg Monday and was placed on injured reserve. The Bengals didn�t immediately fill his roster spot.

Odom is tied for the league lead with eight sacks and has been the Bengals� most dominant defensive player. He got hurt during the first quarter of a 28-17 loss to Houston on Sunday that dropped Cincinnati to 4-2. Defensive lineman Domata Peko also missed most of the game with a knee injury.
The defensive line was depleted by injuries against the Texans. Frostee Rucker was inactive because of a sprained ankle, and Tank Johnson played with an injured foot.
