BALTIMORE, Md. -- Quick note to pass on as the Baltimore Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals.

The league notified Bengals receiver Chad Ocho Cinco that he will not be allowed to wear his legal surname on his jersey today because there are still unresolved issues.

Ocho Cinco stepped on the field moments ago with his old "C. Johnson" jersey.
