To avoid fumbling...because of the wrist. His status was "Questionable" before the game due to the wrist. He was busting big runs without the first-team O-line intact...no other reason to bench him.

Twitter / Rich Campbell: Shanahan: Clinton's wrist ...
Shanahan: Clinton's wrist impacted his decision to play Torain more on first and second down in the second half.

We should know CP by now...he never does anything wrong in his mind. Doesn't mind going head-to-head with a coach either. Love the guy, but he has a ginormous ego and wants the spotlight all to himself. Always has.
