The Facts: Jeremy Hill expects to carry the load again this Thursday night as the Cincinnati Bengals face division rivals the Cleveland Browns after Bernard sat out Tuesday practice with a hip injury according to Coley Harvey of ESPN.com.
Diehards Line:
As the Redzone.org notes, the hip pointer kept Bernard out of Sunday's win over the Jaguars and led to a massive day on the ground for Hill to the tune of 150-plus yards and tw touchdowns. No one really expects Bernard to suit up on a short week. This leaves Hill with a great matchup as the Browns are ranked 29th in yards per carry allowed and are tied for 30th in rushing yards per game allowed.
