Cedric Benson didn’t say give me the ball. But he told reporters he would like to know where he stands as far as getting more playing time. He had just one carry in the previous game and has just 47 on the season.

“If they are planning on doing it, I wish they would tell me, so I can prepare instead of hoping I just catch the end or something,” said Benson, the former University of Texas standout who’s behind Thomas Jones on the depth chart. “I wish they could be a little more upfront and business-like about the situation.”
