WR Ochocinco expects to play vs. Jets

[February 04, 2010]  CINCINNATI (AP) -- Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco expects to practice this week despite his sore knee.

Ochocinco is getting ready for a playoff rematch against a Jets defense that held him without a catch last week.

Ochocinco hurt his left knee when he slipped during pregame warmups Sunday, landing hard. He limped off the field but played in the game, which the Jets won 37-0. Ochocinco was held without a catch for the first time since 2002, ending his streak of 120 games with a reception.

He had a precautionary MRI on the swollen knee Monday and tweeted that it "went well." He told reporters on Tuesday he expects to play.

The Bengals also expect defensive lineman Domata Peko (knee) and safety Chris Crocker (ankle) back in the lineup.
