Joe Mixon, B.J. Hill Among Bengals Mid-Week Roster Moves The Bengals made five mid-week roster moves ahead of the Week 18 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
Officially on COVID list The Bengals officially placed Mixon (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Impact Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Mixon reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 and is not in line to play Sunday against the Browns. Head coach Zac Taylor was less definitive about the matter, noting that Mixon and all the other Bengals players recently placed on the list will have the chance to test out of the protocols before the regular-season finale, according to Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. That said, the Bengals have already secured a home-field advantage for the wild-card round of the playoffs and will need a number of scenarios to work in their favor to move up to the No. 1 seed, so Mixon will more than likely be limited if he clears the protocols before Sunday, if he even dresses for the contest at all. Assuming that's the case, Samaje Perine would be in line to head the Bengals' Week 18 backfield, with Chris Evans and Trayveon Williams in the mix to see complementary work.

Tests positive, set to miss Week 18 Mixon (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The Bengals haven't yet officially confirmed Schefter's report, but assuming the test result is confirmed, look for Mixon to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list later Wednesday. Mixon will have the ability to test out of the NFL's COVID-19 protocol prior to Sunday, but since he'll miss some practice time at a minimum, he'll more than likely be out for the regular-season finale, especially with Cincinnati having already clinched a playoff berth. Samaje Perine will stand to inherit the lead role in Cincinnati's backfield if Mixon is indeed ruled out for Week 18, while Chris Evans would also handle a larger role as a change-of-pace option.

Chiefs fall from No. 1 seed with last-second loss to Bengals
The Chiefs lost in Cincinnati on a last-second field goal Sunday that knocked Kansas City out of the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff raceJANUARY 3, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stays busy in win Mixon rushed 12 times for 46 yards while catching seven of eight targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over Kansas City.
Impact Mixon put forth a workmanlike effort, racking up 86 scrimmage yards despite none of his 19 touches going for more than 15 yards. He was stuffed from the Chiefs' one-yard line on the Bengals' final drive, but that proved to be a blessing in disguise for Cincinnati, as a subsequent penalty on the defense allowed the Bengals to run out the clock before kicking a game-winning field goal. Mixon has at least 18 touches in each of his last nine games heading into the season finale in Cleveland.

Big bounce-back effort Mixon ran for 65 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries while catching six passes for 70 yards and one touchdown on six targets against Baltimore on Sunday.
Impact Mixon had a quiet few weeks preceding this game, but with this strong dual-threat output he's back on rhythm as the Bengals head into a crucial Week 17 matchup against the Chiefs. Mixon's usage is very high almost every week in the Cincinnati offense, and he'll be in good position for a productive finish to the season especially if quarterback Joe Burrow can maintain his momentum after a 525-yard, four-touchdown breakout game against the Ravens.

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.
