Cedric Benson will be a game-time decision
Bengals running back Cedric Benson will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Browns.
"I think Ced is in a good spot right now, and we'll make that decision on Sunday," coach Marvin Lewis said, per Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
According to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com, however, Lewis says that "he's ready to play now."
In last week's loss to the Raiders, rookie Bernard Scott had 119 rushing yards on 21 carries.
Meanwhile Larry Johnson, who had two carries for five yards last week, could be active again for the Bengals.
Said Lewis of Johnson: "He's been doing really good in practices. He has a pretty good grasp of things and looks comfortable. He also has fresh legs compared to the other guys."
Whether it's Benson or Scott that receives the start, either back should have a big week against the Browns, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.
And with a victory over the Browns, the Bengals would complete a sweep of the entire division.
