Faust 5,000 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Quote NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Joe Mixon (foot) "does not have a major injury." Mixon going four weeks without practicing has raised eyebrows, but the Bengals don't believe Mixon is dealing with something overly serious. Of course, Mixon's practice reports will tell the full story next week. Until Mixon can get in a full practice, expect Giovani Bernard to handle most of the Bengals' touches out of the backfield. Mixon has an RB1 ceiling down the stretch if he can get right. RELATED: Giovani Bernard SOURCE: Tom Pelissero on Twitter Nov 20, 2020, 6:54 PM ET Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Razors Edge 71 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Reality check, if you miss a quarter of the season by being mishandled by not being put on IR when you already miss 4 weeks. You have a major injury. If you have an injury that can IR you, its major. Maybe not season ending, but a quarter of the season is a major injury. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have to think we're getting close to rage drop mode with this guy. Feels like he just aint comin back. Trade deadlines passed in most leagues I would have thought. (if you are trading into week 12, why have a deadline at all) Seems like there will be a lot of rage dropping as value of players no longer has that trade quality, if they are not use to you or keeping from your direct opponent, whats the point? Cut Mixon if you need the spot. 😉 DO IT! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree but its the Bungles so of course they mishandled it. I drafted him in 2 leagues this year and traded him away in one because I needed a WR1. At that time I thought he was playing that week and am still shocked that he is still out. In the league where I still have him I was unable to get Bernard on the waivers because someone else beat me to him. This is so frustrating!!!! I think I blame whoever named this thread because I usually only hear my middle name when I am in trouble so whoever named this thread has doomed Mixon to having injury troubles.

Faust 5,000 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Bengals coach Zac Taylor wouldn't rule out Joe Mixon (foot) missing the rest of the season. NFL Network has since reported the Bengals don't think Mixon has a "major injury." That's hard to believe with Mixon missing the last month. Mixon was an early rule out again this week against Washington. Sidelined since October 21, it's going to be a stretch for Mixon to return in Week 12. The Bengals decision not to place Mixon on IR suggests they expect him back this year. SOURCE: ESPN Nov 21, 2020, 12:25 PM ET Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny Utah #9 223 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Wow. Well finally. I guess once national reporters started looking into this story and not the Ben Baby’s of the world, this hack coach maybe started to re-evaluate what he was doing. Of course what a clown show. I’m going to have to put all Bengals on my do not draft list going forward for as long as Sean McVay’s pool boy is the coach there.

And this isn't a "major" injury? Still want to trade for him, but as I said above, I have to think many Mixon owners are now borderline dropping him...especially if they have to win now to get into the playoffs (and can't wait for him to possibly come back). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chicago Hooligan 868 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 So if you pick up or hold Mixon maybe he can play in Week 14, if you can possibly roll the dice on him in your lineup, then in Week 15 he has a bad matchup vs. Pittsburgh. I'm bailing. If they got dropped by someone, Gaskin or Mostert, who will return sooner (1 or 2 weeks) with likely ~15 touches per game, is worth way more right now.

travdogg 2,998 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 At this point, I'd bet on Kittle being back before Mixon. I think its 50-50 we see Mixon again this season. He's cuttable, and Bernard is probably around RB15 going forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Max55 56 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I’m holding Mixon. And have Gio. If Mixon plays in week 14 and does ok he will be in my week 15 lineup. At the moment I don’t have a better option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtp1982 361 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 On the bright side the Bengals trainers and coaching staff realized there’s a 10-11 week recovery timetable 7 weeks into the injury and that sure beats the AJ Green scenario last year.

I don’t disagree with your thinking here, but I would point out that week 16 Cincy draws one of the worst rush D’s in the league in Houston. So if you get to your title game and Mixon is back, you wouldn’t want to face him in the finals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually traded for this fantasy disasterpiece weeks ago, the week he was taken out of the game with a "minor issue". I literally never got a single start out of him. (Uh, might be a blessing I reckon??? ) The shark move is to snag TRAYVEON WILLIAMS and slip him on the end of your bench, and I did exactly that in 2/4 leagues. I have Gio in the league I own Mixon, and figured Williams was a good fit, because even though the Bengals seem pass happy, they don't have any issue giving Gio Bernard most ALL the run work (and a fair bit of passing work too). I don't see any reason that would change if Bernard goes down. Literally who else is there? I'm certainly not saying Williams is a season saver, but he looks like he will get a solid amount of run if Bernard gets hurt. I want those guys on my benches, not my opponents.

TZMarkie 608 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Well, with the loss of El Burro........... as a Mixon owner in my biggest league, I hope they come out and just state that Mixon is done for the season. There is truly no need for him to play at this point. With 7 losses already and a massive downgrade at QB, what would be the reason to let Mixon come back for a meaningless week 15 or week 16 game? Its now safely ???( I guess) a lost season, so I don't see any reason for them to even try and bring Mixon back. Oh wait, this is the CINCINNATI BENGALS . I bet they won't say anything until about week 15-16, let Mixon clog my bench the whole time THEN finally admit "he can sit the rest of the season". TZM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They fancy themselves the Kremlin guarding state secrets over there. As a Mixon owner, my read on this situation is this: If this was even a somewhat competently run franchise, it already would have been determined Mixon is done for 2020. No reason to bring him back before, and now with Burrow gone, even more so. They just signed Mixon to big money, he is presumably the future of this franchise along with Burrow, so the smart move is to protect their investment and let him sit. But... this is the Bungles. I’ve come to expect them to do the opposite of the logical and smart move. Because of this, I could easily see them deciding to bring Mixon back week 14 or 15 if he is ready, to play in these meaningless games. Given that CIN draws the embarrassing run defense of the Texans in week 16, I would hate to cut him loose and then have to face him in the finals. For that reason alone, I’m currently holding until I really need the space or something truly compelling is available on the wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taylor has always played injuries close to the vest, so him saying there's a "possibility" Mixon plays again this season doesn't carry a lot of weight. All of last season he spoke as if A.J. Green was just days away, until Green ended up missing the whole year. Mixon hasn't played since Week 6. It'll continue to be Giovani Bernard, Samaje Perine, and Trayveon Williams in the Bengals' backfield. SOURCE: Ben Baby on Twitter Dec 9, 2020, 1:54 PM ET Quote Link to post Share on other sites
