  • Frustrating 2019 continues

    Mixon managed only 10 yards on eight carries, while catching two of three targets for 29 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The third-year back has been largely inefficient as a rusher, and his passing game involvement has not been anywhere near a level that would justify his average draft position as a top-10-to-15 running back. Behind a banged-up Bengals' offensive line, he has been held to fewer than 1.7 yards per rush in three of his six appearances, and he is averaging fewer than 17 receiving yards per game thus far in 2019. In Week 7, he and the Cincinnati front will be going up against a Jaguars defense that…read more

  • Best rushing performance of 2019

    Mixon ran for 93 yards on 19 carries and caught his only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The third-year back is trending in the right direction in terms of his rushing efficiency, breaking four yards per carry in three consecutive games after managing just 1.6 YPC on 17 combined carries between Weeks 1 and 2. Mixon gained nine or more yards on 26.3 percent of his rushing attempts, but was unable to cash in on either of his goal-line carries against Arizona. In Week 6, he'll face a Ravens defense that bounced back Sunday by holding James Conner to 55 yards on 14 carries, after…read more

  • Does best in defeat

    Mixon rushed 15 times for 62 yards and caught four of five targets for one yard in Monday night's 27-3 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Mixon has now topped 60 yards on the ground in back-to-back games after starting the season with consecutive outings of under 20 rushing yards. While Monday marked his season high in the category, he was still hurt by the game flow, which saw the Bengals trailing big for most of the second half. Behind an at-times brutal offensive line, Mixon has done his best to find lanes the past couple weeks, but his overall outlook is hurt by his poor quality of surrounding talent. Still, his weekly volume…read more

  • Comes to life in Week 3 loss

    Mixon rushed 15 times for 61 yards and caught both of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: Mixon's one-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter tied the game at 14-14. It was his first trip to the end zone in 2019 following a 2018 campaign in which Mixon scored eight rushing touchdowns and one as a receiver. The 0-3 Bengals played from behind throughout this one and are unlikely to employ many run-heavy game scripts this season due to a lack of leads, but Mixon's owners should be encouraged that he showed signs of life here after a putrid first two games. He'll hope to build…read more

  • Takes responsibility for struggles

    Mixon called his performance through two games "terrible" Wednesday and said that he has to "do some reevaluating," Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Mixon has rushed for just 27 yards on 17 attempts without a touchdown to start the 2019 season, averaging 1.6 yards per carry. He's also caught five of eight targets for 17 yards without a score. The 23-year-old hasn't received much help from Cincinnati's offensive line, which is dealing with a multitude of injuries, and he isn't in line for an easier time Week 3 versus Buffalo's stout defensive front. On a positive note, Mixon does appear fully recovered from the sprained right ankle that…read more

  • Continues slow start

    Mixon ran for 17 yards on 11 carries and added 10 yards on three catches during Sunday's 41-17 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Mixon was bottled up before exiting Week 1 against the Seahawks with an ankle injury and didn't get any luckier in Week 2. The sample size -- just 17 carries -- is small, but the Oklahoma product is averaging just 1.59 yards per carry to start the year. It doesn't get much easier in Week 3 against a stingy Bills defense.

  • Good to go for Sunday

    Mixon (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mixon only managed one limited practice as part of his Week 2 regimen while he managed the sprained right ankle, but the injury wont keep him out of commission for Sunday. While Mixon is likely in line to draw the start, the Bengals could choose to manage his workload carefully if the ankle is at all inhibiting him during the contest. If Mixon is restricted, Giovani Bernard would be in store for increased work both in the run game and on passing downs.

  • Trending toward suiting up

    Mixon (ankle) took part in Saturday's team walk-through and the Bengals are optimistic he can play Sunday against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mixon's sprained right ankle prevented him from taking part in most of the Bengals' practices this week, but he'll get the green light to play Week 2 if he can make it through warmups Sunday without major issue. The 23-year-old's gameday status won't be formally established until the Bengals release their inactive list 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. EDT kickoff, but the expectation is that Mixon will draw the start for Cincinnati out of the backfield.

  • Planning to play

    Mixon (ankle) is planning to play in Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mixon will test out his ankle Sunday morning in team warmups but it sounds like he intends on playing. He is coming off a season opener in which he only managed to record 10 rushing yards on six carries before having to exit the contest due to the ankle injury. It's also worth noting he missed the first two days of practice this week. If he does suit up, there's no telling how cautious the coaching staff will be with his reps.

  • Listed as questionable

    Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after logging a limited practice Friday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Fortunately for those considering Mixon in Week 2 lineups, the Bengals kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET this weekend. If he ends up limited at all Sunday, or is deemed inactive, Giovani Bernard would see increased touches out of the team's backfield. Mixon's return to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- opens the door to the possibility of him toughing it out through his ankle issue at home versus San Francisco.

  • Participating in walkthrough Friday

    Mixon (ankle) is taking part in Friday's walkthrough, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old was held out from the first two practices of the week after spraining his right ankle in the season opener, so his participation in Friday's session -- even if it's just a walkthrough -- is a positive sign. Mixon's status for Week 2 should receive additional clarity when the Bengals release their official injury report later in the day.

  • Still not practicing

    Mixon (ankle) was held out of Thursday's practice, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Mixon emerged from Week 1 with a right ankle injury, and after an MRI came back clean, he was deemed "day-to-day" by coach Zac Taylor. That said, Mixon has yet to take the practice field this week, leaving him with one session to get in some reps before Sunday's game against the 49ers. If Mixon is unable to go, Giovani Bernard will lead the Bengals' backfield.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Mixon (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Mixon said that his injured ankle is feeling better, he remains day-to-day after getting banged up in the Week 1 loss to the Seahawks. The Bengals hope to have Mixon available for Sunday's tilt against the 49ers, but if he ends up limited or ruled out for the contest, expect Giovani Bernard to handle the lead-back role.

  • Ankle improving

    Mixon noted Wednesday that his ankle is feeling better, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Mixon added that he's hopeful he'll be able play Sunday against the 49ers, but such an outcome is far from a lock. Another update on Mixon should come later Wednesday, when the Bengals' practice report will reveal the extent of his participation in the team's first session of the week.

  • Considered day-to-day

    Coach Zac Taylor said he views Mixon (ankle) as day-to-day, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mixon got good news from Monday's MRI, confirming his ankle sprain isn't too severe. The Bengals hope to have him ready for Week 2 against the 49ers, following an early exit from the season opener in Seattle. Giovani Bernard is the next man up in Cincinnati's backfield, followed by recent acquisition Samaje Perine.

  • Could play Week 2

    MRI results on Mixon's ankle came back "all good", and the running back may have a shot to play Sunday against the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: In any case, Mixon is not expected to require an extended absence. If he ends up out or limited Week 2, however, Giovani Bernard would be in line to see added work, with Samaje Perine on hand as well.

    Mixon was forced out of Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a right ankle injury, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit, Mixon had logged six carries for 10 yards. If Mixon has to miss any time, Giovani Bernard would step in as the top back. Coach Zac Taylor had no update on Mixon's status in the postgame press conference, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.

  • Held out Thursday

    Mixon sat out Thursday's preseason loss to the Giants, just as he had the week before, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports. "We just didn't really feel the need to give him any touches," Taylor said of Mixon. "What's one or two touches going to help him two weeks from now? So we just made the decision to keep him out. He's fully healthy and went through warmups with no issues."

    Analysis: Mixon will likely sit out the preseason finale against the Colts along with the rest of the Bengals' first-team offense. The offensive line has really struggled to run-block in the preseason - Bengals backs had 12 carries for 21 yards with the first-team offensive line on Thursday. However, it's an open question whether that's also a function of Mixon not playing.

  • Available Thursday

    Both Mixon and Giovani Bernard will be available for Thursday's preseason game, but it's uncertain whether they'll play, Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com reports.

    Analysis: There's no injury here, but there's some line of thought that coach Zac Taylor, much like his former boss Sean McVay in Los Angeles, would prefer not to use his top running backs much if at all in the preseason.

  • Not slated to play Saturday

    Mixon and Giovani Bernard are not in line to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Chiefs, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, both backs could play if needed, but coach Zac Taylor indicated that the Bengals plan to use Saturday's contest to evaluate their depth options. For now, Mixon remains the team's undisputed top back, while Bernard remains entrenched as Cincinnati's primary change-of-pace option.

  • Expecting big things

    Mixon has high hopes for the Bengals under new coach Zac Taylor, SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: The Cincinnati defense doesn't look much different, but there's legitimate cause for optimism on Mixon's side of the ball after both he and Tyler Boyd enjoyed breakout seasons in 2018. With Andy Dalton, Tyler Eifert (ankle) and A.J. Green (toe) all expected to be ready for training camp, the Bengals have a strong group of skill-position players for Taylor and offensive coordinator Brian Callahan to work with. The offensive line appears less promising, though first-round pick Jonah Williams and…read more

  • Focused on stamina

    Mixon will split his offseason between Cincinnati and California, focusing on his stamina and durability in anticipation of large workloads under new head coach Zac Taylor, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official website reports.

    Analysis: It's easy enough to draw up comparisons to Todd Gurley, who also boasts above-average speed and excellent receiving skills while checking in around 6-foot-1 and 220-to-230 pounds. Mixon expects his new coach to borrow heavily from mentor Sean McVay, whose play-action-heavy offense propelled Gurley to per-game averages of 18.4 carries, 4.2 catches, 135 scrimmage yards and 1.4 touchdowns the past two seasons. Of course, Mixon won't have the same caliber of talent surrounding him on the field in…read more

  • Tops 100 yards

    Mixon carried the ball 13 times for 105 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Steelers. He also added one reception for two yards.

    Analysis: Mixon bounced back from a disappointing Week 16 showing to surpass 100 yards on the ground for the third time in four games to close the season. Nearly half of his 105 rushing yards came on a 51-yard scamper midway through the fourth quarter, which led to a game-tying field goal at the time. Despite being one of the few skill-position starters still standing to close the season, Mixon well outpaced his rookie performance to take a step forward in his second campaign.

  • Fewest rushing yards since Week 11

    Mixon accounted for 68 rushing yards on 17 attempts, adding two receptions for 10 yards during Sunday's 26-18 loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: The 22-year-old Mixon had been one of the best backs in fantasy of late coming into the weekend -- checking in as RB5 in PPR scoring over the past four weeks, and facing a Browns defense that ranked in the bottom 10 in rushing yards (1,460) and receiving yards (700) allowed to opposing running backs. Mixon was unable to take advantage of the favorable matchup, logging his lowest rushing output since Nov. 18 and snapping a two-game scoring streak by failing to get into the end zone against a…read more

  • Good to go this week

    Mixon (wrist/thigh) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: With wideout Tyler Boyd (knee) joining A.J. Green and tight end Tyler Eifert on the sideline this weekend, Mixon is once again in line to be the focal point of the Cincinnati offense. He's logged 53 carries for 240 yards and three scores over his last two games and should continue his high-volume ways in Week 16.

  • Limited again in practice

    Mixon (wrist/thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mixon replicated his activity level from Wednesday but may have gotten dinged up along the way, as he had previously been listed on the Bengals' report with only a wrist issue. Neither the wrist nor the thigh injury should prevent him from suiting up Sunday in Cleveland, though Mixon's fantasy managers would surely prefer to have him avoid a designation heading into the contest. If he suits up as anticipated, Mixon should be in store for another ample workload on the ground after amassing 53…read more

  • Limited by wrist issue

    Mixon was limited at practice Wednesday by a wrist injury, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Mixon logged 52 of the Bengals' 80 offensive snaps in the Week 15 win over the Raiders, carrying 27 times for 129 yards and two TDs and nabbing two receptions for one yard. Given that hefty workload, it's likely that Mixon's limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related. He should be good to go for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

  • Scores two rushing touchdowns

    Mixon carried 27 times for 129 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Raiders. He added two catches for one yard in the 30-16 win.

    Analysis: Mixon enjoyed season highs in carries and rushing yards while averaging 4.8 yards per tote. He went in on a one-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter and capped off the scoring with a 15-yard scamper in the fourth. Mixon was hardly involved as a receiver, but that likely had to do with his team playing with a lead for most of the game. He'll look to follow up this stellar effort in Week 16 against a beatable Browns run defense.

  • Hits century mark, gets TD in loss

    Mixon racked up 111 rushing yards and a touchdown on 26 carries, adding five receptions for 27 yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Mixon tore up a Chargers front seven that stymied star running backs David Johnson and James Conner to a combined 3.84 yards per carry and five receptions for 30 yards over its two most recent outings preceding Sunday. The second-year back didn't get the memo, as he rushed for five or more yards on eight of his 26 attempts en route to his second 100-yard rushing performance of 2018. He continues to provide considerable returns as a pass catcher as well, catching all 14 of his targets over the…read more

    Mixon (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mixon was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, but there never seemed to be much concern about his Week 14 availability. The Bengals are in a tough spot as heavy road underdogs this week, facing a Chargers defense that's tied for 13th in yards per carry (4.4) and 11th in rushing yards allowed (104 per game). Mixon and wideout Tyler Boyd are doing their best to keep an injury-depleted offense afloat.

  • Tallies 95 yards against Denver

    Mixon rushed for 82 yards on 12 carries and added 13 yards on two catches during Sunday's 24-10 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: Mixon has now averaged at least 5.5 yards per carry in four of his last five games. The second-year back was pummeling the Broncos to start the game but saw his opportunities shrink after Denver's offense heated up in the third quarter. Mixon garnered just four carries in the second half, gaining an impressive 23 yards on them, as the Bengals were forced to throw from behind and the Broncos were able to key on the running game with A.J.

    Analysis: Considering the Bengals dug themselves into a 28-0 hole in this one and largely abandoned the run, Mixon had himself a nice outing. His average of 6.4 yards per carry and seven receptions were both season highs. With the Bengals falling behind early and often of late, Mixon has come up short of the 15-carry mark in each of the past three games and five of the past six.

  • Barrels into end zone

    Mixon ran for 14 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries and added three catches for 38 yards during Sunday's 24-21 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: Mixon tied the game up early in the second quarter when he followed his fullback and pushed into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown. The Ravens beat up the Bengals' ground game as Andy Dalton's 29 rushing yards ended up leading the team. Mixon's weak outing snapped a four-game span in which he averaged at least 5.5 yards per carry thrice. Even with the return of Giovani Bernard, Mixon has a stranglehold on carries in Cincinnati and has scored in four of his last six games. He'll be counted on…read more

  • Cleared to play Week 11

    Mixon (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Mixon was able to log a full practice Friday, thus setting the stage for him to continue heading the Bengals' backfield in Week 11. Mixon carried 11 times for 61 yards to go along with two catches for 24 yards last weekend against the Saints, but his modest usage was dictated by the game flow in a 51-14 loss. An uptick in opportunities thus seems likely for Mixon in the AFC North showdown.

  • Looks good at practice

    Mixon (knee) took part in Friday's practice with no apparent limitations and "looks good to go" for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Bengals will reveal later Friday whether Mixon's activity was enough for him to enter the Week 11 tilt minus an injury designation. In any event, it appears as though Mixon's addition to the team's injury report Thursday was not cause for major concern after all.

  • Present for practice

    Mixon (knee) was spotted on the field at Friday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It won't be clear until after practice how much work Mixon was able to get in, but his presence alone provides optimism that he will be able to play Sunday against the Ravens despite being added to the injury report Thursday. The Bengals will reveal Mixon's official status for Week 11 after Friday's session comes to a close.

  • Added to Week 11 injury report

    Mixon (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, Mixon wasn't participating at the beginning of the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, though he was in the locker room afterward. It remains to be seen if Thursday's limitations were maintenance-related, or perhaps indicative of a setback related to the meniscus injury Mixon dealt with earlier this season. If he's limited at all (or out) Sunday against the Ravens, added backfield opportunities would be available for Giovani Bernard, as well as Mark Walton to a lesser…read more

  • Production curtailed by game flow

    Mixon was effective when used Sunday against the Saints, carrying the ball 11 times for 61 yards to go along with two catches for 24 yards.

    Analysis: Unfortunately for Mixon, the Bengals were getting blown out, so running opportunities after the second quarter were scarce. The Bengals next travel to Baltimore, where the game at least figures to be closer, even if the matchup isn't great for Mixon.
