News and Notes

Benson didn't suit up for the second straight day Thursday due to a sore hip muscle, the Bengals' official site reports. Recommendation: We'll see what Benson does Friday, but right now he's not a lock to play Sunday in Oakland. If he sits out, we'd expect Bernard Scott to start in his place, with Larry Johnson unlikely to be ready to assume a large workload, even if he does suit up this weekend. |

RB Cedric Benson did not practice for a second straight day, meaning that it is unlikely he will play on Sunday at Oakland. That means Larry Johnson's timetable for being somewhat comfortable with the playbook continues to be accelerated.
"It's a new offense and they have to get comfortable with trusting me to step in there," said Johnson, who celebrated his 30th birthday on Thursday. "The plays are the same handing off and right now the exchange has been pretty good between Carson and myself." |

Benson is expected to practice on a limited basis this week after leaving Sunday's 18-12 win at Pittsburgh with a hip injury. Advice: Benson had seven carries for 22 yards before leaving. Marvin Lewis said he could play Sunday at Oakland, but the Bengals are expected to sign the troubled Larry Johnson as insurance. |
