Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor announced that starting running back Joe Mixon will not be activated for Week 14's game against Dallas.

Mixon is eligible to return this week but apparently is not ready yet. Given how his injury has progressed, it appears possible, if not likely, the Bengals have simply shut Mixon down for the season. Giovani Bernard will retain his role as Cincinnati's primary running back, but his usage and efficiency has dropped off in recent weeks. That being said, he gets a great matchup against the Cowboys in Week 14.

The Bengals have placed RB Joe Mixon on injured reserve.

Mixon is now out for at least the next three games as he continues to deal with a foot injury. The earliest he’ll return now would be Week 14 against the Cowboys, so you might get him back to the playoffs, but don’t completely rely on that. Mixon hasn’t played since Week 6. Giovani Bernard will continue to roll for the Bengals. He is our No. 22 RB in half-PPR.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon will not play Week 11 against the Washington Football Team, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.

While Mixon has missed time, Bernard has been a steady RB2 for fantasy. Bernard is 15th on 4for4's running back rankings (PPR).

Cincinnati Bengals superstar running back Joe Mixon missed Thursday's practice session.

Things are not looking good for Joe Mixon's availability for Week 11, but we will know more based on his activity, or lack thereof, in the team's final practice session of the week on Friday. We suspect that Mixon will need to log at least a limited session in order to have a chance to suit up on Sunday, so if he is unable to go tomorrow, we may get an early rule out. If Mixon is not cleared for this weekend, it will be Gio Bernard getting another start for the Bengals. Mixon fantasy managers will have already wanted to concretize their contingency plans for this weekend. Bernard is our 15th ranked running back for Week 11.

Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Wednesday that starting running back Joe Mixon is still "day-to-day" with his foot injury.

Mixon's situation is officially frustrating for fantasy managers. Mixon continues to miss practice and games but the Bengals refuse to provide any clarity on what exactly he is dealing with in his foot and how long it will take him to return. Giovani Bernard should remain rostered in fantasy leagues until we get some clarity on Mixon's timeline.
