<p>CINCINNATI (AP)—Larry Johnson(notes) might get to revive his troubled career with a team known for giving second chances.</p><p>Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said on Monday that Johnson would be in Cincinnati to discuss a limited role—fourth-string running back, essentially an insurance policy in case Cedric Benson’s(notes) hip injury gets worse or another running back gets hurt.</p><p>“That’s what his role would be, it would be as a fourth running back and an opportunity as a backup player on this football team doing all the things backup players do, and that’s work their tails off in the kicking game and showing looks (on the scout team) and so forth that way,” Lewis said. “And then he would be an insurance policy if something would happen down the line to one of our guys where he’d have a chance to be active.</p><p>“But I couldn’t foresee him being active when he was initially here, if this is what happens. And that’s what I’ve told him.”</p>
