Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Joe Mixon is getting an MRI on his ankle.

Related players: Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale, Cam Akers

Fantasy Impact: 

Mixon was able to return to Sunday night’s game after hurting his ankle, but there’s enough concern about the injury for Mixon to go for tests on Monday, the story went on to say. While it was good news he was able to return, Mixon owners may want to backup their RB if they haven't already. Pierce was the team's RB1 before Mixon was signed and should be up next if Mixon would have to miss time. Ogunbowale is more of the pass-catching back. Akers had a nice preseason and looks to be healthy again and could factor in as well.
