Bengals RB Jeremy Hill (chest) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Hill should be able to play through the shoulder injury, though this is shaping up to be more of a Giovani Bernard game since the Bengals are expected to trail.

Jeremy Hill benching a mystery

Why was Jeremy Hill benched for the first quarter of the Cincinnati Bengals' game Sunday at San Francisco?

"Coaches' decision," the Bengals running back said while clearing his Levi's Stadium locker.

He left it at that.

Asked Monday afternoon what led to the decision to keep Hill on the sideline in favor of Giovani Bernard for the first 15 minutes and some change of the game, offensive coordinator Hue Jackson was similarly guarded. Echoing head coach Marvin Lewis' words from the day before, Jackson intimated the benching was a private team matter.

"That's between the head coach and the coordinator and Jeremy," Jackson said. "So it's all good. That's it. End of discussion."

Was it a one-time decision?

"End of discussion," Jackson added. "It's nothing to talk about. Next question."

Fantasy Impact: 

Hill's benching remains an important topic of conversation for fantasy owners at least. The story pointed out that Hill had been the Bengals' effective starter at running back for every game this season prior to Sunday's. That was a position he had officially held since Week 15 last year, when he was tabbed the starter even after having played that role earlier in the year when Bernard went down with injuries. It's something to watch heading into Week 16.

Bears Beat: 'It would be a surprise' if RB Jeremy Langford doesn't see 20 carries in Week 9

Bears beat writer Jeff Dickerson:

San Diego is the perfect opponent for RB Jeremy Langford. With Langford's role about to increase in the aftermath of Matt Forte's knee injury, the rookie will go up against the Chargers' 27th-ranked rushing defense (124.4) on Monday night. San Diego has allowed four tailbacks to rush for more than 100 yards through eight games -- James Starks, Le'Veon Bell, Adrian Peterson and Giovani Bernard. The Bears have gone out of their way to publicly praise Langford this week, despite the rookie playing just 73 snaps in seven games. Offensive coordinator Adam Gase begins installing the game plan for San Diego on Thursday. It would be a surprise if Langford carries the ball fewer than 20 times on Monday in Southern California.

Fantasy Impact: 

We currently project Langford for around 18 carries, but if he doesn't run well early, don't be shocked if Antone Smith gets a chance. Smith was highly productive on limited touches while in Atlanta. Langford should run well early, however, given the matchup against the Chargers, who are last in the league in RB aFPA.

Andy Dalton

Bengals sticking with Jeremy Hill as starter

Despite Jeremy Hill's two turnovers in Sunday's win over the San Diego Chargers, the Cincinnati Bengals have no plans of making a switch at the running back position.

Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson confirmed that Monday when he indicated Hill's benching in favor of Giovani Bernard in the third quarter of the 24-19 victory was only temporary.

"Yeah, I'll put him back in. It's a new game," Jackson said. "That one's over and done with. We're 2-0, so we're moving on. We're moving on to the next game."

This means when the Bengals travel to Baltimore (0-2) on Sunday, Hill will open the game at his familiar spot on the field, lined up behind quarterback Andy Dalton.

"Jeremy will be fine," head coach Marvin Lewis said. "He will get back at it and earn our trust as it goes. But we can't have the ball on the ground."

Fantasy Impact: 

Twice in last weekend's game, Hill lost his grip on the football during two separate drives. The first time, about halfway through the first quarter, Hill had the football ripped from him as he was being tackled after crossing midfield. With his leg being twisted by the pile that had formed around him, Hill was going down at an awkward angle when linebacker Donald Butler yanked the ball out of his hands. This is at least good news for owners of Hill. It may be worth it to swing a deal for Bernard if at all possible as he proved to be a capable handcuff should Hill's fumbling problems continue, or he gets hurt.
