Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) will not play in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Footballguys view: The Bengals will turn to Gio Bernard and Samaje Perine against the Ravens in Week 17. That's a tough matchup, so Bernard is more of a RB2/flex option and Perine is more of a flex player. Mixon is set to be a free agent in 2021. He finished this season with 428 yards rushing and three rushing touchdowns in six games. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) will not be available for the Week 16 game.
Footballguys view: We're unlikely to see Mixon for the rest of the regular season. That means Gio Bernard gets more work. He's got RB2 or flex appeal in Week 16. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) will not be available for the Week 14 game, according to head coach Zac Taylor.
Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs have already moved on. In the first week of the fantasy playoffs, Gio Bernard will be the lead back and has low-end RB2/flex appeal for Fantasy GMs. Taylor said Mixon has a chance to play again this season. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) on Saturday, Nov. 21, was placed on the Reserve/Injured list with a foot injury.
Footballguys view: Mixon's foot injury just isn't healing enough for him to come back in the near future. He missed a couple of games and a bye week due to this injury and is still not right. Mixon is out at least the next three weeks with this designation and his return in 2020 is no guarantee. That means Gio Bernard continues as the lead back for the Bengals and a RB2 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 11 versus the Washington Football Team.

DT Margus Hunt (illness) and WR Mike Thomas (hamstring) were not given practice designations Friday and are also listed as questionable. DT Geno Atkins (personal), DT Mike Daniels (rest), WR A.J.

Footballguys view: Giovani Bernard will get another start in place of Mixon with Samaje Perine mixed in against his former team. |

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) has been ruled out Week 11 and will miss a fourth straight game. And head coach Zac Taylor, when asked Friday, Nov. 20, if he expects Mixon back this season, said he didn't want to make any predictions on the situation.
Footballguys view: We have to hold onto Mixon at this point since he hasn't been placed on IR, but Giovani Bernard's speculative rest of season value just went up with Taylor's non-answer. |

Footballguys view: This was expected, so the team turns to Gio Bernard once again to be their lead back. After a couple of weeks off and a bye week, this is a disappointing development for Mixon and he may miss even more time after this. Stay tuned. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 30, and has been ruled out for Week 8.
Footballguys view: Giovani Bernard will get another start. Consider him a high floor/low ceiling PPR RB2 and likely someone you should try to get into your lineup, although the state of the Bengals offensive line does add some bust risk. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) remained out of practice Thursday, Oct. 29, as he deals with a foot injury.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28.
Footballguys view: We'll have to see if Mixon can practice later in the week. Gio Bernard would start against the Titans in Week 8 if Mixon can't play. Fantasy GMs should consider Bernard a RB2 if he's the lead guy. |

The Cincinnati Bengals have declared WR John Ross, PK Austin Seibert, OG Keaton Sutherland, CB William Jackson III, TE Cethan Carter and RB Joe Mixon inactive for Week 7.
Footballguys view: Giovani Bernard gets the start for Mixon, but Samaje Perine and Trayveon Williams could also get some touches. Jackson being out is an upgrade for Odell Beckham today. |

Cincinnati Bengals CB William Jackson III (concussion) and RB Joe Mixon (foot) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 7 versus the Cleveland Browns. WR John Ross (illness) was added to the injury report and did not practice Friday, Oct. 23; he is listed as questionable. S Shawn Williams (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is also listed as questionable. DT Geno Atkins (non-injury), LB Markus Bailey (neck), DE Khalid Kareem (illness), WR Auden Tate (shoulder) and CB Darius Phillips (illness) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. DE Carlos Dunlap (non-injury) and WR A.J. Green (non-injury) were not given a practice designation Friday but are also expected to play.
Footballguys view: Jackson is Cincinnati's best cover corner. His absence will help Odell Beckham, who beat him for a long touchdown in the first matchup and the refs miss a hold on another deep target when Beckham was breaking open. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) on Friday, Oct. 23, was ruled out of the Week 7 game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, head coach Zac Taylor said.
Footballguys view: Giovani Bernard will get the start, but Samaje Perine and Trayveon Williams could also figure into the mix. With a Week 9 bye, the Bengals could be inclined to let Mixon rest his foot for three weeks before playing on it again because he'll only miss two games. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon rushed for 59 yards on 24 carries against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5. He also caught six passes for 35 yards during the game.
Footballguys view: Mixon at least bailed you out with six catches in PPR leagues in a hopeful sign that he has passed Giovani Bernard in the pecking order for targets. Mixon's floor is tolerable, but his ceiling is unlikely to come into view against the Colts next week. |

Footballguys view: Keep Mixon in your lineups, but add Giovani Bernard as a longer term injury hedge if he's on the waiver wire. We'll be watching Mixon to monitor the possibility of reinjury. |
