Bengals
Henry's return is just a start
Help wanted: line that blocks, healthy QB, productive RB

Bengals running back Chris Perry ranks near the bottom of the NFL in yards per carry.
CINCINNATI -- Receiver Chris Henry was back on the field yesterday as a member of the Bengals. He should be in uniform for practice Wednesday. Quarterback Carson Palmer might not. At least, he will be limited.
With those comings and goings, the Bengals offense will look different this week. Whether it looks better depends in large part on its largest players.
After watching videotape of the 20-12 loss Sunday to the Cleveland Browns, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis put the onus on the offensive line to lead a turnaround in the team's fortunes.
"I'm disappointed in how we played physically, particularly in the running game," Lewis said. "We've got to do a better job."

So what to Bengal fans fell about the addition of Benson? Will he be RB3? RB2? RB1?

So they pick up Cedric Benson and get Chris Henry back in the same week?
I don't have a problem with the Bengals.. but there is an obvious issue there IMO.

Re: Benson was arrested in May on charges of boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest, and again in June on a drunken driving charge in Austin, Texas. Two grand juries in Travis County, Texas, declined to indict Benson on the charges last week, ending the cases.

At least he wasn't indicted on these charges.

Bengals
Benson brought in as backup to Perry

CINCINNATI -- As they did with receiver Chris Henry, the Bengals gambled on raw talent despite a rap sheet yesterday in signing free-agent running back Cedric Benson, a former first-round draft pick. Each has the skills to transform the team's struggling offense, if he can stay out of trouble.
Benson was released by the Chicago Bears in June after two arrests in five weeks, for boating while intoxicated and driving while intoxicated. Both charges were dropped last week when grand juries declined to indict him.
The fourth overall pick in the 2005 draft, Benson is expected to back up Chris Perry in Cincinnati. He could play as soon as Sunday in Dallas.
