JOE MIXON NEWS

Ankle feeling fine Mixon (ankle) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Mixon's full activity to begin Week 16 clears up any concerns about the health of his ankle, which he tweaked late in Sunday's win over the Broncos. Head Zac Taylor said Monday that he expected Mixon to begin the week as a limited participant in practice, but the running back instead managed to take part in the Bengals' first session without any restrictions. He'll lead the Cincinnati backfield this Sunday against the Ravens.

Slated to practice Wednesday Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Mixon (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Mixon may be listed as a limited participant, but Taylor noted that the running back is "feeling pretty good" at this stage of the week. With that in mind, Mixon's status should still be monitored closely, but he's trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Ravens approaches.

Impact According to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, Taylor said reports on Mixon's ankle injury are "encouraging," so the running back looks like he'll have a good chance to play next weekend against Baltimore even if his reps are capped in practices Wednesday through Friday. Mixon handled a relatively normal snap share (59 percent) in the 15-10 win over Denver, but he struggled to find much open real estate as a runner (17 carries for 58 yards) or as a receiver (one catch for two yards).

Bottled up by Broncos Mixon carried the ball 17 times for 58 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over Denver. He added one reception for two yards.

Impact Mixon was limited to under 60 rushing yards for the third consecutive game and was held out of the end zone in consecutive contests for the first time since Week 3. Of particular concern is Mixon's lack of involvement in the passing game of late, as he's recorded only seven catches across his last five contests. More positively, he continued to dominate work out of the backfield, accounting for 17 of the 26 rush attempts for Cincinnati on Sunday. Finally, it will be worth monitoring Mixon's practice status throughout the week, as he appeared to suffer an ankle injury on one of the team's final drives, according to Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site.

Held in check Sunday Mixon carried the ball 18 times for 58 yards and caught both his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the 49ers.

Impact For the first time since Week 3, Mixon failed to get into the end zone as his nine-game TD streak got snapped. He also didn't sniff 100 scrimmage yards for the second consecutive contest, after reaching that mark in three straight. Mixon still reached 1,000 rushing yards for the season, the third time in his career he's accomplished that feat, and he'll look to get back to his scoring ways in Week 15 against the Broncos.

Suits up Sunday Mixon (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Though an illness prevented Mixon from practicing this past week, he'll give it a go Sunday. Assuming no setbacks, he should lead the Bengals' Week 14 rushing attack, with Samaje Perine on hand to work in a complementary role and Trayveon Williams in reserve.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play in Week 14 Mixon (illness) is expected to play Sunday against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Official confirmation of Mixon's Week 14 status will arrive upon the release of his team's inactives prior to Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable for Sunday Mixon (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET game against the 49ers.

Impact Though an illness prevented Mixon from practicing this past week, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site relays that coach Zac Taylor anticipates the running back being able to play this weekend. Look for added clarity with regard to Mixon's Week 14 availability to arrive no later than late Saturday/early Sunday when national reporters such as ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport issue their weekly injury/status updates. If Mixon ends up limited or out, however, added backfield work would be available for Samaje Perine.

Remains sidelined Though Mixon (illness) was present for practice Friday, he was not a participant, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Mixon, who has been dealing with an unspecified illness all week, figures to be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers. That said, coach Zac Taylor anticipates the running back being able to play, with Ben Baby of ESPN.com noting that the team should have a better idea of where Mixon's Week 14 status stands after he's evaluated Saturday.
