NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says that Bengals running back Cedric Benson won't be suspended for the beginning of the upcoming season. Benson was arrested for his alleged involvement in a bar fight in Texas this offseason. "Cedric expressed to us his understanding that NFL players have a special responsibility to meet high standards of conduct," Goodell said. "Like most public figures, Cedric and other NFL players occasionally may find themselves facing risks that other individuals do not. They must exercise good judgment and restraint when confronted with those risks. "Cedric said he recognizes this and has committed to working hard to make better decisions and avoid any further incidents," Goodell said. "We support him and expect him to be successful in meeting this commitment."
