Rudi Johnson

12/12/2005

Johnson posted season highs in carries (30) and yards (169) in the Bengals' win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The running back found the end zone on an 8-yard scamper in the first quarter, giving him eight touchdowns over his last five games. The yardage total was the four-highest in his NFL career.

12/5/2005

Johnson scored two more touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, giving him seven scores over his last four games. The Bengals' running back finished just shy of the century mark, rushing for 98 yards on 21 carries.

11/28/2005

Johnson rushed for more than 100 yards for the first time since Week 1 in Sunday's 42-29 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals' running back finished the game with 114 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries. He has found the end zone five times in his last three games after scoring just twice in his first eight contests combined.

11/21/2005

The Bengals were forced to go to the air in attempt to get back in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, limiting Johnson to just 16 carries -- his second-lowest output of the 2005 campaign. However, the running back made the most of his opportunities, rushing for 76 yards -- a solid 4.8-yard average -- and two touchdowns.

11/18/2005

As has been the case the majority of the 2005 campaign, Johnson was held out of practice on Wednesday as a precautionary measure, so he could rest his troublesome knee. However, the running back returned to action on Thursday and got in a full workout with the Bengals. He'll practice again on Friday and be in the starting lineup for Sunday's tussle with the Indianapolis Colts.

10/20/2005

Johnson has been nursing a knee injury for nearly a month, and the Bengals have been holding him out of practice on Wednesday's as a precautionary measure. The same was the case this week, but the running back returned to the field for Thursday's workouts and fully expects to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Officially, he is listed as probable.

10/13/2005

Johnson plans to return to practice with the Bengals on Thursday after skipping Wednesday's workout to rest a sore knee. The running back, who has been nursing the injury for the past couple of weeks, will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans and is expected to handle the bulk of the carries.

9/30/2005

After missing practice the previous day, Johnson was back on the field with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday and reported no major problems with his sore knee. The ailment is considered minor, and the running back is slated to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the Houston Texans.

9/12/2005

Despite not getting the start after breaking a team rule, Johnson saw plenty of time on the field in Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Browns. The running back handled the bulk of the carries for the Bengals, finishing with 126 yards and a touchdowns on 26 rushes. He also hauled in a pair of passes for 12 yards.

9/11/2005

Johnson will be absent from the Cincinnati Bengals' starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cleveland Browns after reportedly breaking a team rule. The running back, who will be replaced by Chris Perry, still should see plenty of carries in the contest.
