Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Benson is the only first-round draft pick still unsigned. The 33-day absence from camp is the longest for a Bears draft choice at least since 1970. It also ranks now among the dozen longest camp absences by a first-round pick in the NFL's modern era. ... Before his holdout, Benson was expected to challenge incumbent Thomas Jones for playing time -- something that becomes more daunting with each passing day.
