Quick Hits- Can’t Stop the Benson, Broken Bones, and a Whole Lot of Soreness

Cedric Benson

Cedric Benson, RB, CIN- “…began finding his comfort zone with the Cincinnati Bengals, who in turn have found assurance in giving the tailback all the work he can handle. That’s been the case the past two weeks, as the Bengals have won back-to-back games behind Benson’s durability.” (USAToday)

LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, SD, and Antonio Gates, TE, SD- “…were among six San Diego Chargers missing practice due to injuries. Tomlinson has a bruised hip and Gates has a sore foot.”(ESPN)

Justin Gage, WR, TENN- “…has several broken transverse process bones in his lower back, and he is unlikely to play Sunday against Buffalo. The receiver was injured when he fell to the ground after making a leaping catch to set up the go-ahead touchdown in last week’s 34-27 win at San Francisco.” (Yahoo)

Matt Hasselbeck, QB, SEA- “…didn’t fully practice with the Seahawks Wednesday because of a sore shoulder and healing ribs, though he will start Sunday’s key divisional game at Arizona.” (ESPN)

Donald Brown, RB, IND, and Austin Collie, WR, IND- “It’s take two for Indianapolis Colts running back Donald Brown. After practicing on Wednesday and Thursday last week, Brown was suddenly held out of Friday’s practice before being scratched for the team’s week nine game against Houston…Wide receiver Austin Collie (who left in the fourth quarter versus the Texans with a neck injury) also practiced Wednesday and hopes to play Sunday night…” (FFToolbox)
