CINCINNATI (AP) — Cedric Benson spent five days in a Texas prison mopping floors and thinking about what he needs to change.
The Cincinnati Bengals running back was released on Saturday after completing his sentence for misdemeanor assault. He’s back with the Bengals, getting ready for their season opener Sunday in Cleveland.
Benson says he thought about a lot of things while in jail and how he needs to change his life to stay away from trouble.
Although he missed a week for his trial and his jail sentence, he thinks there’s enough time to catch up with the game plan and get ready for the opener in Cleveland.
