Bengals Notebook: Joe Mixon On Record Workhorse Pace Amid Bid To Ignite Run Bengals running back Joe Mixon is on pace to smash Rudi Johnson’s 18-year-old team record by 45 touches after he put his hand on the ball 28...

Toughs out heavy workload Thursday Mixon rushed 24 times for 61 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 13 yards in the Bengals' 27-15 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Impact As expected, Mixon couldn't find much room against a Dolphins team that had been stingy against the run and operating behind an offensive line that had struggled to open any lanes over the first three games. However, the veteran back toughed it out while handling his second-highest volume on the ground this season, and he salvaged his fantasy night with a five-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to open the scoring for the Bengals. Mixon also notched his second-highest reception total over the first four games, and he'll likely shoulder another heavy workload in a Week 5 road divisional showdown with the Ravens a week from Sunday.

Cleared for TNF Mixon (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against Miami.

Impact The Bengals listed Mixon as a full practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, confirming his ankle injury is minor. He'll start and likely dominate carries again, but the Bengals haven't been able to run the ball this year (2.8 YPC for Mixon) while the Dolphins have allowed only 3.5 YPC to running backs. The volume alone makes Mixon a must-start in most formats, even as the Bengals offense struggles to find its footing this year.

Cleared to play Thursday Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Mixon (ankle) is good to go for Thursday's showdown with Miami, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Mixon was listed as a limited participa...

Impact Taylor said Mixon got his ankle nicked up during Sunday's win over the Jets, but it doesn't appear like it's serious enough to sideline him for Week 4, even with a short turnaround. The running back rushed 12 times for 24 yards and caught three of seven targets for 14 yards this past weekend, continuing his underwhelming start to the season. Taylor's comments are certainly encouraging, but fantasy managers still should track Mixon's practice status throughout the week to monitor any potential setbacks.

Slow start on ground continues Mixon rushed 12 times for 24 yards and caught three of seven targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-12 win over the Jets.

Impact Joe Burrow carved up New York's secondary for three touchdowns, but Mixon didn't find much room to operate on the ground. Samaje Perine's superior pass protection has earned the backup playing time at Mixon's expense in passing situations, which is why Perine was on the field to score a 12-yard touchdown on third down to cap the Bengals' opening drive. Averaging just 2.8 yards per carry behind Cincinnati's struggling offensive line and seeing limited usage in the passing game, Mixon's off to an underwhelming start heading into Thursday's Week 4 matchup with the Dolphins. The short week comes at an inopportune time, as coach Zac Taylor described Mixon's ankle as "a little sore" after the game, per James Rapien of Sports Illustrated.

Tough yards in Week 2 loss Mixon carried the ball 19 times for 57 yards and caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The Bengals have had major issues along the offensive line to open the season, and while Joe Burrow being sacked 13 times in two games is the most glaring symptom, Mixon's 3.0 yards per carry is also a problem. The veteran back has at least stayed involved as a pass-catcher to bolster his raw numbers, but he could find more success on the ground in Week 3 against a Jets defense that just got gashed for three TDs by Nick Chubb.

Unlikely to play this week Mixon and other starters likely will be held out of Sunday's preseason game against the Giants, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Coach Zac Taylor said he's likely to sit most of his key players for a second straight week. It's unclear if Mixon will play in the preseason finale, or not at all this exhibition season, but either way he's locked in for a starring role as Cincinnati's lead back come Week 1.

Impact It remains to be seen when Mixon will next see game action, but given that he's entrenched as the Bengals' starting running back, the team has no need to force things with the 26-year-old during the upcoming exhibition slate. With that in mind, look for the focus Friday to be on younger players and those competing for depth slotting.
