Benson suffered a slight ankle sprain

Sep 21, 2009

Bengals RB Cedric Benson said he suffered a slight ankle sprain in the first quarter but he indicated he will be fine. After Benson made a wondrous play on third-and-two as the clock went under seven minutes when he dodged three tacklers stringing out a play behind the line of scrimmage for a 14-yard gain to the left perimeter, quarterback Carson Palmer said, "His will and his drive is something we feed off offensively. The group we have in front of him is creating holes for him and is doing a good getting a push and moving the line of scrimmage. Combine the power we have up front and Cedric's will, speed, explosiveness and all that, that's what we expect. We're going to expect that all year long."

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
