Larry Johnson Signs With Bengals
By: SCUBA

It has been speculated for the last two days that former Chief Larry Johnson would sign with the Bengals, and this morning he did.
Johnson signed a one-year contract with the Bengals this morning, according to
ESPN.com.
This signing came on the heels of a hip-flexor injury suffered by the Bengals' lead back Cedric Benson. The Bengals have stated that they expect Benson to play this Sunday, so the injury doesn't seem to severe.
It looks like the Bengals just want to give another troublesome running back a chance at a new start. However, this time Johnson isn't getting a chance to start for the Bengals but rather to come in and compete for the backup position with Bernard Scott.
Going into Sunday's game, Benson was the number two running back in the NFL in rushing.
If Benson's injury turns out to be worse than it is, Johnson may get a chance for revenge against the Chiefs two days after Christmas. If Benson comes back as expected, Johnson will have to root against the team that dropped him like a 3-inch putt, from the bench.
The Chiefs travel to Cincinnati in week 16 on Dec. 27th.
