Bengals receiver Chris Henry is on life support in a Charlotte, N.C., hospital following an accident involving his girlfriend on Wednesday.

Following an argument, Henry's girlfriend tried to drive away in a pickup truck, but Henry jumped in the bed of the truck. He eventually fell out of the truck and suffered "life-threatening" injuries according to Bengals.com. Several news outlets jumped the gun and reported that Henry had died earlier in the day.

Those reports turned out to be erroneous, but Henry is currently clinging to life by a proverbial thread. Our prayers go out to him and his family.

Henry is on injured reserve with the Bengals this year after suffering a broken arm against Baltimore. He had reportedly turned his personal life around after a series of arrests earlier in his career.

Henry, 26, is in his fifth season with the Bengals who drafted him in the third round out of West Virginia in 2005. In eight games this season, he had 12 receptions for 236 yards (a team-best 19.7 yards per catch) and two touchdowns.

Henry's best season came in his second year in 2006 when he hauled in 36 receptions for 605 yards (16.8) and nine touchdowns.
