Bengals' Joe Mixon still in concussion protocol
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is still in the concussion protocol.
What It Means:
Mixon has been able to practice on a limited basis this week, but he will need to clear protocol in order to play on Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Samaje Perine will be in line for another full workload if Mixon misses another game. He rushed 17 times for 58 yards and a touchdown last week, and caught 4 passes on 7 targets for 35 yards.
Perine played 78.8% of the Bengals' offensive snaps last week and handled 17 of the team's 19 running back carries. Per numberFire's advanced efficiency metrics, the Chiefs have the No. 24 run defense and No. 13 pass defense in the league this season.
