Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry will likely miss the remainder of the season after fracturing his left forearm Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, according to reports from James Walker on ESPN.com.

Henry hauled in his first reception of the day early in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Ravens on a 20-yard pass from Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer. As soon as he hit the ground, he grabbed his left forearm and laid on the ground for a few minutes before being carted off the field by the team's medical staff.

Before the play, Henry had an air cast placed on his forearm.

With Henry likely out for the remainder of the season, it will be up to the rest of the Bengals wide receivers to step it up on offense. This could mean an increased role for second-year wide receiver Andre Caldwell, who has emerged as a solid option for Palmer this season.

In the first seven games this season, Henry had 11 receptions for 216 yards and two touchdowns.

He was expected to have a breakout season after an impressive offseason, when he appeared to be more focused on turning his life around and making major contributions for the Bengals.
