(KFFL) Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson (hip) practiced in full Thursday, Oct. 8, and he should be able to play Week 5.

Typical rest period, no need to drive your workhorse into the ground with such a tough matchup.

He's going to play, but I doubt he practices on Wed. the remainder of the season. The Bengals are trying to save his legs as much as possible. They even involved Scott more in the gameplan last week. That trend will continue. Marvin is going to use Benson like he used Rude...run him into the ground.

Agreed entirely.

Marvin Lewis lets key players rest on Wed. and sometimes Thurs. He always has.

Unless a Bengal star like Benson doesn't practice Friday, you should ignore Marvin's injury list.

Awesome! Knowing this the Bengals can give him 19 carries every week and be assured to keep Benson from getting sore all season long! Brian Westbrook and Frank Gore should talk to Benson to get some help in figuring out their pitch/carry counts as well!

Agree with pretty much all comments on board. This is a weekly thing with Benson, sits Wed and possible Thursday, will practice in full today...P.S> This post made me laugh...

They might have to sit him twice a week after Balt clobbers Benson this Sunday. Did you see what they did to Fred Taylor?
