Bengals RB Mixon misses practice, status for Sunday unclear

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon didn’t practice Wednesday and is day to day with an ankle sprain

OCTOBER 6, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sits out practice Mixon (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact The report notes that the running back did spend some time off to the side on a stationary bike Wednesday. Meanwhile, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer relays that coach Zac Taylor believes Mixon will be worked back into the mix as the week goes on. With that in mind, Taylor noted that he needs to see Mixon log some game-speed reps at practice in order to determine whether or not playing him Sunday versus Green Bay is an option. Samaje Perine is next up for added touches in the Bengals' offense if Mixon is limited or out this weekend.

Deemed day-to-day Head coach Zac Taylor said Monday that the Bengals are viewing Mixon's low-grade ankle sprain as more of a day-to-day concern than a week-to-week one, Jay Morrison of The Athletic...

Impact Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Monday that Mixon was considered week-to-week after exiting Thursday's win over the Jaguars, but Taylor talked about the running back's injury in more optimistic terms when he met with the media. Taylor added that Mixon's sprained ankle has no relation to the foot injury that sidelined the 25-year-old for the final 10 games of the 2020 campaign, so Mixon looks like he may have a shot to suit up this Sunday against the Packers. Before reaching a decision on Mixon's status, the Bengals will see what he's able to do in practices Wednesday through Friday.

Labeled week-to-week Mixon is nursing a low-grade ankle sprain and is considered week-to-week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The Bengals' coaching staff hasn't yet ruled Mixon out for Week 5, but at this point it looks like the workhorse running back will be forced to spend some time on the sideline. Coach Zac Taylor said after Thursday's win over the Jaguars he believed Mixon's injury to be minor, so if the team estimates he could return after only missing one or two games, a stint on IR might be avoided. Samaje Perine appears destined for a larger role while Mixon gets healthy, as does rookie fifth-round pick Chris Evans. Perine could be the primary recipient of carries, while Evans handles more passing-down reps.

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.

Bengals' momentum halted in mistake-filled Week 2 loss

At times in Sunday's 20-17 loss, the Cincinnati Bengals looked more like the 2020 version instead the supposedly new, improved edition

SEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Garners 21 touches Week 2 Mixon notched 20 carries for 69 yards and one catch (on one target) for two yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss at Chicago.

Impact Mixon led the NFL in rushing after Week 1, with his 127 yards 19 ahead of second place David Montgomery. But Mixon faced a much tougher defensive front in the Bears this time around, averaging a shade under 3.5 yards after managing 4.4 YPC against the Vikings in the season opener. After ceding five rushes to reserve running back Samaje Perine in Week 1, however, Mixon handled every single carry for the Bengals on Sunday, indicating his bell-cow status in this backfield. Mixon may have a difficult time again next Sunday against the rough and tumble Steelers on the road.
