In an email Q&A, Lovie Smith said that Cedric Benson is still the Bears' starting running back. "Cedric was our starter last year, and he?s our starter right now," writes Smith. "For someone else to be the starter, they?re going to have to beat him out. I?m going to put Adrian Peterson and Garrett Wolfe in there also. We like what Matt Forte brings. When you draft a player that high, you?re expecting him to eventually play and have a role with your team. But Cedric Benson has looked good in workouts out here. I?m hoping that Cedric will get back to form and we see that guy that we know he is."
