Cedric Benson getting a workout with the Houston Texans

Vaughn McClure, of the Chicago Tribune, reports free-agent RB Cedric Benson said he has a tryout with the Houston Texans this week.

"I got myself in good shape, changed some things about myself," he said. "I wasn't going to let the running game be a question this season."

Benson believes teams are waiting for his legal matters to be cleared up before signing him.

Benson also said he'd had a workout with the New Orleans Saints two weeks ago and that it "went well."

He could get a second chance, but maybe not because he wasn't very good last year with the Bears.
