CINCINNATI (AP) -- Running
back Larry Johnson has agreed to terms with the Cincinnati Bengals to
be one of their backups, giving the AFC North leaders depth at the
position, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated
Press.
Johnson reached the contract
agreement Tuesday, according to the person, speaking on condition of
anonymity because the team had not made an announcement. The Bengals
have to make a roster move to clear a spot for Johnson, who will be
fourth on the depth chart at the outset.
The move came eight days after the Kansas City Chiefs let him go as he
was set to return from his second suspension in the last 12 months. The
Bengals have one of the NFL's leading rushers this season in Cedric
Benson.
