The Facts:
It's expected that Benson will miss the rest of the season after he was carted off the field Sunday following a 21-yard run. His left ankle was twisted down awkwardly when he was tackled by Denver safety Hamza Abdullah. "They told me not to say anything," Benson said while waiting for a helping hand to leave Soldier Field.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
For the record, coach Lovie Smith called it a "pretty good ankle injury. ..." Benson finished with 47 yards on eight carries, which leaves him with 674 on 196 for the season, a 3.4-yard average. While the Sun-Times report is not definitive -- and further testing will be performed -- it appears Benson's injury will give Adrian Peterson a chance to prove he's capable handling a featured role at the pro level. We'll have more on both men as the week progresses.
