EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA - Minnesota Vikings running back Michael Bennett&#39;s chances of playing this weekend against Atlanta are ``50-50&#39;&#39; 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&#39; 24-17 loss to the Patriots and didn&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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.&#39;&#39;
