Sidelined Wednesday Mixon will miss Wednesday's practice due to an illness that isn't believed to be COVID-19-related, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Impact Meanwhile, head coach Zac Taylor indicated that the neck issue Mixon dealt with during the team's Week 13 loss to the Chargers isn't a concern, per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. With Mixon sidelined Wednesday, Samaje Perine is presumably in line to handle the first-team reps at running back for the Bengals' first Week 14 practice.

Hurts neck in Week 13 loss Mixon revealed after Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers that he hurt his neck during the game, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The running back was still able to log 19 carries for 54 yards and a TD (with a lost fumble) in the contest, but it will still be worth monitoring his status as next Sunday's game against the 49ers approaches. If Mixon ends up missing any practice time, Samaje Perine would be next up for the team's running back reps.

Continues to dominate Mixon rushed 28 times for 165 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Steelers. He added four receptions on four targets for negative two yards.
Impact Mixon continued his recent assault on opposing defenses, scoring multiple touchdowns for the fourth game in a row. The 24-year-old has also seen a huge uptick in usage of late, averaging 144 rushing yards on 29 carries over Cincinnati's last two contests after failing to reach 20 carries over the previous seven. The Bengals' recent commitment to the run has resulted in a two-game win streak following a mid-season lull, so Mixon should continue to see heavy usage heading into a home matchup against another AFC playoff hopeful, the Los Angeles Chargers, next Sunday.
