Joe Mixon did not pass the concussion protocol. He will not play Week 15.
This locks in Giovani Bernard as a high-volume play for Week 15, albeit in a difficult matchup against the Vikings. He's one of John Paulsen's sneaky starts for Week 15 with Mixon officially out.

The post added it's no longer Walker's ankle that's the issue. The post also added the Seahawks are sending Walker for more tests, and they should know more about how much longer their lead RB may be out. Walker didn't practice last Thursday and Friday before being downgraded to out on Saturday. ESPN and Adam Schefter said Walker should have a chance to play in Week 15, but owners will want to monitor how the tests go and see if Walker can get on the practice field this week. Charbonnet had a huge game filling in, rushing 22 times for 134 yards and two TDs, adding seven catches for 59 yards.
The 49ers had a big win on Sunday against the Bears, but 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel did not have a big game.
Samuel was held to two catches for 22 yards, continuing a disappointing season in which he’s averaging career-lows in catches per game and yards per game. But Samuel took to social media on Monday afternoon to say nothing is wrong.
“Not struggling at all just not getting the ball!!!!!!!” Samuel wrote.
He later added: “Just cause I voice my opinions mean I’m hating on any of my teammates!! Be Fr,” Samuel wrote.

As the story mentioned, a comment like that could be portrayed as a complaint. The story mentions that Jennings has more targets, more catches and more yards, as well as more TDs than Samuel this season. The 49ers play on Thursday night in what is likely your opening round of the fantasy playoffs. So, owners may be hoping his post causes the Niners to come out and heavily target Samuel to potentially fix any hard feelings.
