ESPN reported Monday night that Packers running back Cedric Benson will miss at least 8 weeks, and possibly the entire season, with a foot injury.
The report said Benson has suffered a Lisfranc injury that will end his season if it requires surgery. The same injury has sidelined New York Jets receiver Santonio Holmes for the remainder of the season.
Benson, signed to a one-year contract by the Packers in preseason, was injured in the first half of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Mike McCarthy ruled Benson out of this coming Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.
