The NFL Suspended Three Games, Cedric Benson:Bengals running back Cedric Benson said through a team spokesman that he has not been informed of a three-game suspension. Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports reported earlier in the day that Benson would be suspended starting with next Sunday’s game against Buffalo. The suspension would also cover the Oct. 9 game at Jacksonville and Oct. 16 home game against Indianapolis. There is an appeal hearing scheduled for Tuesday, which means he would be eligible to play in Sunday’s contest against San Francisco. Benson was charged with assault of a former roommate on July 16, which occurred during the lockout. He served time three weeks ago for an assault charge related to a 2010 incident outside an Austin, Texas, bar.
Benson had a meeting with Commissioner Roger Goodell last year about the Austin bar incident and did not suspend him at that time. There also have not been any suspensions of players who violated the league’s personal conduct policy during the lockout.The NFL Suspended Three Games, Cedric Benson:
