Joe Mixon - Injures ankle late Thursday Mixon rushed 16 times for 67 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for no gain in Thursday's 24-21 win over the Jaguars. He spent the Bengals' final few offensive... Impact Taylor used the word "minor" to describe the injury, so it sounds like Mixon should have a chance to suit up against the Packers in Week 5, especially since he'll have 10 days to heal up. Nonetheless, the injury-prone running back will likely show up on the injury report when the Bengals resume practicing, and Samaje Perine -- who had three carries for seven yards and a 15-yard catch Thursday -- could be in line for a bigger role in the event Mixon's injury ends up more serious than is being let on. Prior to exiting, Mixon found the end zone from one yard out in the third quarter for his second touchdown of the season.
