Benson carted off

Cedric Benson sustained an injury to his left shoulder last night. The Bears said X-rays were negative and further tests would be conducted soon to determine the length of his absence and the extent of the injury.

Benson said he doesn't believe it is a separation and reminded everyone that he is a fast healer who came back from a sprained knee ligament last season.

"I'm doing pretty good," Benson said. "I don't think it's nothing severe. Everything seems good. I did a little treatment this morning and was moving it around. I felt pretty strong. I just feel really sore today."

The Bears' No. 1 2005 draft pick was struck by linebacker Brian Urlacher and then safety Mike Brown after catching a pass over the middle.

"He broke through, a freak accident -- those kind of things happen," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "Hopefully it isn't too serious."

Urlacher said, "I don't know what happened. I turned around and he was on the ground and I went back to the huddle. That's all I remember. I don't even know if I was the one to hit him."
