Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out.

The RB1 Samaje Perine weeks are over for now, but Cincinnati is faced with a fantastic matchup against Cleveland this week. Both he and Mixon are fantasy viable in Week 14.

Joe Mixon went full today, which means he's out of concussion protocol.

Beat reporter Paul Dehner Jr. tweeted that while HC Zac Taylor said many great things about what Perine has done, especially when Mixon was out, he also added "Mixon is our starting running back, he had five touchdowns the last time he played.” Owners should be able to conclude that Mixon will have his normal workload for Week 14, but it's easy to imagine Perine getting a few more touches, perhaps especially in the passing game. Overall, it looks like Mixon is going to be the better fantasy play here.

Head coach Zac Taylor says Joe Mixon is still in protocol and a decision is pending. If he’s cleared he should be good to go. He has worked in a limited fashion.

It looks like this could be turning into a frustrating decision for fantasy purposes, but obviously, the team isn't looking to rush Mixon back onto the field. If he were to miss Week 13's incredible offensive battle with the Chiefs, Samaje Perine would be a locked-in RB2. Hopefully, we will have more clarity by 1:00 on Sunday.

Zac Taylor said Joe Mixon (concussion protocol) will be at practice today. Good sign for Mixon.

Mixon looks to be back on track to play in Week 13. The Bengals play a later Sunday game at home against the Chiefs, so continue to monitor Mixon's practice status. Given how Perine performed with Mixon out, you may want to keep him around if you can afford the roster spot.

Bengals’ RB Joe Mixon, who missed Cincinnati’s win against the Titans due to a concussion, “is trending in the direction” of being able to play Sunday versus the Chiefs.

Week 13's AFC Championship rematch could be nothing short of offensive fireworks, and Mixon —or Samaje Perine if Mixon is forced out for a second straight week— would be a must-start if cleared.

Per Geoff, Ja'Maar Chase limited again at Thanksgiving practice. Joe Mixon out Thursday with concussion while Dax Hill and Chris Evans went full.

Samaje Perine looks to be in the driver's seat as the Bengals lead back for Week 12, which would make him a solid RB2 in fantasy.

Head coach Zac Taylor says Mixon is in concussion protocol. Hope level for Ja’Marr Chase: "Don’t know. Hard to make a prediction for Sunday. Getting him back on the field this week, and it is day-by-day."

The Bengals were without two of their big play-makers but didn't seem any worse for wear, as names like Samaje Perine and Trenton Irwin found the end zone multiple times. Perine has proven to be a valuable fantasy commodity if Mixon isn't on the field, so this is something to keep an eye on throughout the week.

Head coach Zac Taylor says Joe Mixon is ready to go for Thursday after the running back missed much of the second half of Week 3 with an ankle issue.

Mixon was still in on 66% of the Bengals' offensive snaps, but his last touch came on the very last play of the third quarter. The rest could very well have been precautionary, as Cincinnati took over with 10:00 left in the fourth quarter and proceeded to run the ball 11 times in a row in order to use up the clock, up by 15 points. Mixon's Week 4 opponents, the Miami Dolphins, have been relatively stout against the run but also just allowed a 14-121-1 receiving line to Bills running backs in Week 3.

The Cincinnati Bengals have placed RB Joe Mixon on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He will reportedly miss Week 18.

HC Zac Taylor said Mixon will be limited early but he called the situation "encouraging." Seems like good news and seems like Mixon has a real shot to play in Week 16. The Bengals play a key, early Sunday game this week at home against the Ravens.
