Due to a concussion, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was unable to play in the team's win over the Tennessee Titans last week. He may also be unable to play in the Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday.As of Sunday morning, NFL Media reports that Mixon has not passed concussion protocol.He is said to be unlikely to play.
Following his limited participation in practice throughout the week as a result of the concussion protocol, Mixon is listed as questionable to play.Samaje Perine will again start at running back if Mixon is absent on Sunday.
In the Titans' 20-16 victory over Perine last Sunday, he caught four passes for 35 yards and rushed 17 times for 58 yards and a touchdown.Perine took over after Mixon suffered a concussion in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and caught three touchdown passes in the 37-30 victory.
Mixon has scored eight touchdowns in ten games and is rushing for an average of 60.5 yards per game.However, it appears that he will not play in this crucial AFC matchup, which would be ideal for the Bengals.
The Bengals will bring back star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase after he missed the last four games with a hip injury. Mixon's status is uncertain.Cincinnati still has the weapons it needs.
