A left ankle injury forced Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon to miss most of the second half of Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Seahawks in Seattle.

The team announced during the third quarter that Mixon's return was questionable but he never returned. The story added Mixon was seen walking into the Bengals' locker room with about three minutes left in the quarter. If Mixon misses games, Bernard would see an increase in time and Williams now becomes a factor as well.

Rookie RB Trayveon Williams will likely be out for the remainder of the preseason, according to Bengals coach Zac Taylor.

Williams left last week's preseason win over Washington with a foot injury. He was competing to be the team's RB3 this season.
