Joe Mixon Headshot

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Bengals RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is trending toward playing "in some capacity" vs. the Packers tomorrow. His Saturday morning workout evidently went well. Of course, the report makes it sound like Mixon will be limited to some extent. The exact extent is unclear, leaving fantasy owners in a tough spot. We'll look for further updates on the situation, but Mixon is still better off on fantasy benches right now. Same goes for RB Samaje Perine unless Mixon ends up inactive tomorrow.
