Active, will play Saturday Bennett (undisclosed) will play Saturday against Old Dominion, Danny Kelly of the Post and Courier Myrtle Beach reports.

Impact Bennett is dressed and will be playing for the first time since the William & Mary game in Week 2.

Won't play against Virginia Bennett (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's matchup against Virginia, Brandon Dunn of ABC 15 Florence reports.

Impact Bennett suffered an injury earlier this September in Costal Carolina's 40-21 win over William & Mary, and he'll now miss his second-straight game after failing to suit up against Temple last week. The Chanticleers will be down two running backs this upcoming Saturday, as Ja'Vin Simpkins (undisclosed) will accompany Bennett on the sidelines. This should pave the way for running backs Christian Washington and Simeon Price to lead the backfield.

DNP against Temple Bennett (undisclosed) did not appear during Saturday's 28-20 win over Temple.

Impact Bennett exited last Saturday's 40-21 win over William & Mary with an undisclosed injury and the senior running back was unable to return in Week 3. The Chanticleers were down their top two guys out of the backfield, with Ja'Vin Simpkins (undisclosed) also inactive for the contest. In Bennett's absence, Christian Washington and Simeon Price saw the bulk of the work for Coastal Carolina, and they should continue to remain involved if Bennett is unable to return next Saturday against Virginia.

The tailback has logged 16 carries for 97 yards and three scores so far this season, but if he's indeed unavailable against the Owls, Ja'Vin Simpkins and Simeon Price would likely take over as the top backs in Conway.

Splits carries, finds paydirt twice Bennett posted 11 rushes for 60 yards and two touchdowns and gathered in their only target for five yards during Thursday's 55-27 victory over Jacksonville State.

Impact The Chanticleers distributed rushing work evenly between Bennett, Ja'Vin Simpkins (12 rushes, 80 yards) and Christian Washington (13 carries, 47 yards). However, Bennett was the only CCU tailback to score, punching in a pair of two-yard runs. Considering he appears to be the team's preferred goal line back, Bennett should be the most appealing Chanticleer running back, but his upside is capped by the team's committee approach.

Doesn't play vs. Marshall Bennett (undisclosed) didn't record a snap in Saturday's 34-6 win over Marshall.

Impact It's unclear if it was an injury that held Bennett out Saturday after he tallied just eight carries in Coastal Carolina's previous game vs. Arkansas State. If the junior Bennett can't play next week, Reese White would likely assume the lead-back role.
