Bengals not expecting Benson suspension
Cedric Benson - RB - Cincinnati Bengals
July 20, 2010 - 1:45 PM ET
Coach Marvin Lewis indicated Tuesday that the Bengals are not expecting Cedric Benson to be suspended for his recent assault charge.
"I don't know why we we're even talking about Cedric being suspended a game," said an agitated Lewis. "As Cedric's [incident] has come out the truth about Cedric's is that Cedric got sucker punched in a bar ... And only because it was Cedric Benson does it become news." The incident was overblown in original reports, and NFL insiders have been unanimous in predicting no suspension. Benson is safe to draft as a RB2.
