RB Johnson Welcomes Heavier Workload
Mark Curnutte, Cincinnati Enquirer
The ramification of the season-ending injury to rookie RB Kenny Irons, the Bengals will look to expand the roles of backups or even sign a veteran off waivers. But they could also turn even more to their featured back, RB Rudi Johnson. His workload could increase, and he welcomes the additional work. "He's the best he's ever looked in the entire time he has been here," OC Bob Bratkowski said. "He really has taken good care of himself the past two years, and it shows." We're going to have to lean on him a little more than we thought we would."
