Bengals Cedric Benson Denies Having Been Informed Of Suspension, "Strong Case" For Appeal. Once we pointed out the 2009 afternoon, Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports wrote that Cedric Benson has been notified of your three-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy during the lockout. An appeal will probably be heard on Tuesday allowing Benson to accommodate up and commence up against the San Francisco 49ers earlier this week. When the suspension isn't overturned or reduced, Benson will miss the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts and the next time he'll suit up as a Cincinnati Bengals running back is going to be against the Seattle Seahawks on October 30.
The suspension is news to Benson as well as the league office isn't saying anything either:
Benson said by way of a Bengals spokesman late Thursday afternoon that they was not informed that he's been suspended and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league isn't commenting on the report. Benson met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell before last season and wasn't suspended following your first incident. The 2nd one happened throughout the lockout last July.
A league source told ESPN Insider Adam Schefter that Benson carries a "strong case" to appeal the suspension; perhaps because players like Kenny Britt and Aqib Talib weren't disciplined. Whether or not the league gets the to certainly suspend Benson for actions through the lockout by which players weren't within collective bargaining agreement, is entirely (and justifiably so) another matter.
