LonDog Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 According to ESPN: "AUSTIN, Texas -- Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson has been sentenced to 20 days in jail after reaching a deal to settle two misdemeanor assault cases in Texas. Benson was in court in Austin, Texas, on Monday and the deal was struck after a jury was picked. He said he will surrender to authorities on Oct. 17, which is the Monday of Cincinnati's bye week."... That looks like 2 games he will be out at least. I have Benson and want to handcuff his backup, problem is, who is the right guy? It does not look like there is a clear #2 right now, who would you pickup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonDog Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 That is good to know, I'm not worrying about it too much then, but could the NFL suspend him also? I have a spot on my roster I could fill with his backup if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
