Benson carried the ball nine times for 43 yards and was not targeted in Saturday's preseason loss to the Colts.

The third-round pick started at running back for the second week in a row as veteran starter James Conner continues to sit along with quarterback Kyler Murray during exhibition play. Benson fared much better in his second go around as temporary lead back after gaining just 21 yards on eight carries last week. It's worth noting that the rookie remained ahead of Emari Demercado (shoulder) on Saturday after the latter returned from a minor injury. Perhaps Benson has a shot to elevate himself into the No. 2 role over the incumbent option based on how the players were deployed while both active.
