Cedric Benson injury: Return, fantasy status questionable with foot injury
Cedric Benson left the Green Bay Packers game against the Indianapolis Colts in the second quarter with a foot injury. With his return questionable, Alex Green will pick up the carries for the Packers.

Fantasy Impact: Green Bay had been going to Benson often early in the game, giving him seven carries and two receptions before his injury. With Benson out, the Packers will turn to second year running back Alex Green. If Benson’s injury keeps him out, Green should receive the majority of the touches at the running back position for Green Bay for the rest of the game and possibly in future weeks if Benson is forced to miss significant time.
