Cedric Benson may have a reduced workload for the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday while Larry Johnson is expected to get more carries.

On NFL GameDay Morning, Steve Wyche reported that the pair are expected to split time in the backfield against the Minnesota Vikings.

ProFootballTalk speculates that the Bengals are starting to save Benson for the playoffs.

In his last three games, Benson has averaged over 35 carries.
