Injury Update On Bengals Joe Mixon

Well, that's not great news.

Cincinnati Bengals' running back Joe Mixon remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, as of Friday.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon is still in concussion protocol, Zac Taylor said. Team is taking it on a 12-hour by 12-hour basis, he said.

Mixon has been able to practice in a limited fashion this week, but because he has yet to be cleared from the concussion protocol, his status for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs remains very much up in the air.

If he is unable to suit up for Week 13's game, Samaje Perine will again lead the Bengals' backfield.

In 10 games this season, the twenty-six-year-old Mixon has 605 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 158 attempts this season. In addition, he has 41 receptions for 314 yards and two touchdowns on 53 targets through 10 games.
