Cedric Benson Will Continue To See A Large Workload

Packers offensive coordinator Tom Clements says he doesnโ€™t expect to lessen running back Cedric Bensonโ€˜s workload anytime soon.

โ€œHeโ€™s a workhorse and when he touches the ball, the more he touches it, the better he gets,โ€ said Clements of Benson, via Mike Vandermause of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.. โ€œWeโ€™d like to work those other guys in there if the opportunity presents itself but you try to get (Benson) the ball to get him going.โ€

So far this season, Benson has accounted for 91 percent of the carries for all Packers running backs. While heโ€™s only averaging 3.5 yards per carry, Alex Green and James Starks arenโ€™t expected to be worked into a rotation anytime soon. Benson should have another easy test Sunday as he goes up against the Colts defense, which ranks 22nd in rushing yards given up per game.
