Bengals' Joe Mixon (concussion) 'trending towards' Week 13 return
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (concussion) is reportedly "trending towards" playing in the team's Week 13 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
What It Means:
Mixon missed the Bengals' Week 12 game against the Tennessee Titans while recovering from a concussion, and while he has yet to clear the league's concussion protocols, it seems like the talented back has a good chance of returning for Week 13. Samaje Perine took over lead back duties in Week 12 and would be expected to hold onto that role if Mixon is unable to return.
Mixon has seen an elite workload this season, posting 605 rushing yards and 6 rushing touchdowns on 158 carries while catching 41 passes for 314 yards and 2 more scores. He will be among the top running back plays in fantasy for Week 13 in what should be a high-scoring matchup with the Chiefs.
