EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA - Minnesota Vikings running back Michael Bennett's chances of playing this weekend against Atlanta are ``50-50'' because of an ankle he sprained Sunday against New England. <br>
<br>
Bennett, whose 908 yards rushing rank second in the NFC, was hurt in the third quarter of the Vikings' 24-17 loss to the Patriots and didn't return. <br>
<br>
Bennett was scheduled to have an MRI test Monday, and coach Mike Tice said he would be listed as questionable for Sunday's game. <br>
<br>
Bennett had 55 yards on 14 carries against New England and had his streak of four straight 100-yard rushing games broken. <br>
<br>
Moe Williams, whose ten rushing touchdowns have him tied for third in the NFC in scoring among non-kickers, would start if Bennett can't go. James Wofford could also see some playing time. <br>
<br>
Also, rookie wide receiver Kelly Campbell sprained his ankle Sunday and is questionable for this week. Guard David Dixon sustained a hip flexor injury, but Tice said he would be fine. <br>
<br>
Offensive lineman Lewis Kelly, who's missed the past four games with a sprained ankle, could be ready to play some at left guard this week. Tice says wide receiver Cedric James, also out with an ankle sprain, was ``still hobbling around.''
