Bengals | Joe Mixon ruled out for Week 17 Mon Dec 28, 03:25 PM
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. |

Bengals | Joe Mixon to miss another game Wed Dec 23, 01:04 PM
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. |

Bengals | Joe Mixon to miss Week 14 Wed Dec 9, 02:00 PM
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. |

Bengals | Joe Mixon lands on injured reserve Sat Nov 21, 02:02 PM
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. |

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.

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.

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. |

Bengals | Joe Mixon out Week 7 Fri Oct 23, 12:23 PM
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. |
