Cedric Benson: Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson faces three games suspension for conduct violations players during the lockout, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Benson will have an appeal Tuesday with the NFL to determine their own fate, a source told ESPN.com 'John Clayton. There is no timetable for when Benson will serve as could be suspended if he loses the appeal. He is expected to be available to play Sunday against the 49ers.
A source familiar with the situation, says Benson, "reasonable grounds" to address the suspension. He will play this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers as no suspension is official only after appeal.
Benson rushed for 180 yards in the first two weeks of the season, although the issue weighing on him.
Benson was released from prison Texas on September 3, after serving five days to settle in the two cases, the offense attack.
He pleaded no contest and received a 20-day jail sentence that was reduced, partly because he volunteered to mop the floors and paint crews to help. He also received credit for time served after his arrest.
28-year-old Benson was arrested in 2010 on charges of punching a bar worker in Austin, an incident that brought him to meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell but did not lead to punishment. He pleaded no contest to charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in this case.
He also was arrested in July on charges of punching a former roommate in downtown Austin. He pleaded no contest to charges of assault with bodily injury family violence, and that will be fired if he performs 30 hours community service and pay an undisclosed amount of restitution to the victim.
