A magnetic resonance imaging test has confirmed that Cedric Benson suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee that could sideline him anywhere from three to six weeks.
The test, performed Monday morning at Halas Hall, revealed no damage to other ligaments or to the running back's meniscus. Benson suffered the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's victory over San Francisco.
