I think even though Campbell and most of the first string offense are taking reps, that doesen't necessarily mean that Clinton should too. First, running back's bodies take more of a toll than any other position on the field, therefore the risk of injury is very high. Second, Clinton has nothing to prove. He will not have a problem entering the offense and gelling when the season starts. For Clinton, preseason really is meaningless, we need him fresh when it matters.
