The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... In an audible from what was announced on Monday, Benson is not waiting until the bye week to serve his jail sentence for a 2010 assault charge in Austin, Texas. According to his attorney, Sam Bassett, Benson surrendered himself to the Travis County Jail late Tuesday evening.  Reported by the Cincinnati Enquirer

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
On Monday, Benson pleaded no contest to assault and sentenced to 20 days in a plea bargain. Per Travis County Jail policy, Benson is credited for serving Tuesday because he showed up before midnight. As Enquirer staffer Joe Reedy notes, attorneys for both sides said that credit for good behavior, Benson would serve seven days. That means he would be released either late Monday or the morning of Sept. 6. That means he would miss Monday’s practice but would be back by next Wednesday when preparations for the Sept. 11 opener at Cleveland really ramp up.
