Cincinnati Bengals RB Brian Leonard was the team’s leading rusher in Week 17 with 10 carries for 34 yards, getting the bulk of the work with RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis (hamstring) injured during pre-game warm-ups. If Green-Ellis cannot go in the AFC Wild Card game against the Houston Texans, Leonard and RB Cedric Peerman appear in line to carry the load.
Bengals | Brian Leonard to be potential playoff hero?
Updating a previous report, the Cincinnati Bengals are concerned about the status of RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis (hamstring) heading into the playoffs. He injured his hamstring in pre-game warm-ups and did not play in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Our View: Guess this injury wasn’t an excuse for Green-Ellis to rest. The Bengals would then be down to their fourth-string running back. They would be smart to abandon the run and just go the spread against the Texans vulnerable pass defense.
