Bengals RB Benson Doubtful For Sunday's Game

POSTED: 3:56 pm PST November 20, 2009

(Sports Network) - Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson missed his third straight practice Friday with a hip injury and is officially listed as doubtful for a Week 11 tilt against the Raiders.

Benson left last week's game against Pittsburgh with a strained hip. The fifth-year back ranks sixth in the league in rushing this season with 859 yards and six touchdowns.

The team added free agent running back Larry Johnson to the fold this week and the 30-year-old veteran may see his first action in a Bengals uniform on Sunday after taking reps with the first-team offense this week.

Also listed as doubtful for Cincy is linebacker Keith Rivers (calf) and guard Evan Mathis (ankle).

Johnathan Joseph, who has a foot injury, is listed as questionable for the game after being limited in practice this week.
