Joe Mixon Dealing With Chest Injury

Joe Mixon Dealing With Chest Injury

one year ago

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (chest) has popped up on the injury report in Week 9 for the first time all year with a chest injury that caused him to be limited on Wednesday. The injury didn't really limit Mixon in the Week 8 win over the San Francisco 49ers, as he carried the pigskin 16 times for a season-high 87 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old also had three catches for 23 yards through the air. Mixon's injury doesn't appear serious enough to put his status for Week 9 on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills in jeopardy, but we'll continue to keep a close eye on him the rest of the week. If he is limited at all in Week 9 or ruled out, the Bengals would move forward with Trayveon Williams as their primary RB.
