Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Mixon may be able to return this week, which would put a damper on Gio Bernard’s Sneaky Start status.

Bengals rookie RB Joe Mixon takes next step in the protocol - has a helmet & jersey for practice today.

Related players: Giovani Bernard

Fantasy Impact:

This is a step in the right direction for Mixon to return this week, but it does not mean he has cleared the concussion protocol. His status should continue to be monitored this week. If he's out again, Giovani Bernard will get bell cow volume again in Week 15.

Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Bernard turned 17 touches into 130 yards in a starting role against the Bears. Joe Mixon remains in the concussion protocol, so Bernard may draw another start.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) did not practice Wednesday. It looks like Giovani Bernard will draw another start. It’s not a good matchup against the Vikings, but Bernard is still a solid volume play given his probable workload.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 14. Bernard should see the lion’s share of the touches against the Bears. Last week, he turned 15 touches into 96 yards while playing 69% of the snaps due to Mixon’s injury. Since 2015, Bernard has averaged 0.95 fantasy points per touch (PPR), and he should see 17-22 touches this week.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon suffers concussion, shoulder injury

Joe Mixon is out for the rest of Monday night’s game against the Steelers after suffering a concussion in the second quarter.

Mixon was injured when he was sandwiched between two Pittsburgh defenders. He laid motionless on the ground while the ESPN broadcast cut to commercial but was on his feet after the TV break. He initially went into the sideline medical tent but was then taken back to the locker room. The team said he was being evaluated for head and shoulder injuries.

Related players: Giovani Bernard, Brian Hill

Fantasy Impact:

Mixon may have a tough time getting back on the field for what is a short week for the Bengals with an early afternoon game against the Bears in Week 14. Bernard could very well be lined up for a huge workload in this game. Hill was recently signed off the Falcons practice squad and Jeremy Hill is on IR.

Bengals Beat: RB Joe Mixon's success possibly just the beginning

ESPN

Joe Mixon ran for 114 yards and a touchdown against Cleveland, sealing the game with his late score. He also caught three passes for 51 yards. It was the first time a Bengals running back had cleared the 100-yard mark in almost a year, and the highest single-game rushing total since Jeremy Hill's 168 yards against the Browns on Oct. 23, 2016.

After months of trying to figure out how to split carries with Hill and mesh with an inconsistent offensive line, Mixon hopes it’s finally been figured out. With Jeremy Hill now on injured reserve, Mixon has been getting 20 carries a game, with mixed results until last week.

“You catch a groove and once you get to feeling it, everything else will take care of itself,” Mixon said. “The line was blocking their ass off and the receivers doing the same thing. We all got committed to running downhill and that's what we did. At the end of the day, everything took care of itself. We all bought in and it was just amazing.”

Fantasy Impact:

Mixon was splitting carries with Hill and Giovani Bernard for much of the season, but has really seen his workload climb with Hill being out and likely done as a Bengal. The story added another positive sign for Mixson could be how he steps up on Monday night against the Steelers.

The Bengals filled their need for a running back by signing Brian Hill off the Falcons practice squad Tuesday.

Hill was a fifth-round pick from Wyoming. He started the season on Atlanta’s 53-man roster and played one game on special teams before he was waived and signed to the practice squad.

The Bengals were down to running backs Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard after Jeremy Hill went on injured reserve over the weekend with an ankle injury that requires surgery.
