NFL won't punish former Longhorn Cedric Benson

The NFL won't punish former Texas Longhorn running back Cedric Benson for his offseason arrest involving an alleged bar fight in Austin.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement Friday that he's satisfied that Benson, who currently plays for the Cincinatti Bengals, understands his responsibilities as an NFL player.

Benson met with Goodell and other league officials last week.

The Chicago Bears released Benson in 2008 after a pair of alcohol-related arrests in Austin. The cases were dropped when grand juries declined to indict. The Bengals then signed him, and he had avoided trouble until the past offseason.

Police in Austin charged Benson with misdemeanor assault last month for allegedly punching a bar employee in the face. Benson has denied the charge.
