The Facts:
It's all but guaranteed that the first-round draft pick will miss the Bears' first two preseason games. Benson has been absent from 11 days of training camp, and after tonight's workout at Soldier Field, the Bears have only three practices scheduled before the Aug. 12 game at St. Louis.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Even if Benson agreed to terms today, there is no way he would be cleared for Monday's game against the Dolphins in Canton. ... Meanwhile, communication continues between the team and Benson's agent, but no tangible progress has been reported while the sides produce research to support their respective positions.
