Bears Notebook: Management set to meet about Benson
CHICAGO - Bears officials will convene today to discuss Cedric Benson, who was arrested Saturday on an alcohol-related offense for the second time in five weeks.
Benson flew into town from Austin, Texas, and was slated to give his side of the story either late Sunday or early today.
There is a sense the Bears will take definitive action against Benson, perhaps even by releasing him. Offensive coordinator Ron Turner made sure to compliment rookie running back Matt Forte, the team's second round draft pick.
“Everyone knows what happened [with Benson] and probably knows as much about it as I do,” Turner said. “But we did draft Matt Forte in the second round. I love Matt Forte. I think he's going to be a special player in this league.”
