Cedric Benson will spend Bengals' bye week in jail.

[Hurricane Season]

When his Cincinnati Bengals teammates are relaxing during the bye week, Cedric Benson will be behind bars.

The Austin American-Statesman reports that Benson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge and was sentenced to 20 days in jail today. But with time off for good behavior, Benson will only have to serve about a week in jail (assuming he behaves himself), and the plea agreement allows Benson to report to jail on October 17, the start of the Bengals’ bye week.
