Impact of Injury on the Team
Benson stepped into a starting role after James Conner was sidelined with a season-ending foot injury. Conner was injured the week prior in a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
With Benson now out, Gannon mentioned that Emari Demercado, Michael Carter, and Bam Knight are expected to see increased action against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Collectively, these players have only combined for five carries this season.
The team is hoping for a swift recovery for Benson as they navigate a challenging schedule ahead.
