Bengals RB Cedric Benson is facing a three-game suspension but neither him nor the team had heard from the league’s office regarding his availability for week 5’s game against the Jaguars.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted last night that “at this point it would be a major upset if Bengals RB Cedric Benson – facing a three-game suspension – were not allowed to play Sunday.”
It would be hard to imagine the NFL ruling Benson out considering that they would be cutting into the teams time to prepare his replacement, Bernard Scott. At some point Benson will be forced to serve a suspension but when that will be remains to be seen.
