5 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) will have tests done on his ankle, but it is just believed to be a sprain. He had a little swelling, but early reports are optimistic. Running back Giovani Bernard pitched in seven rushes for 21 yards and caught two balls for 42 yards. Mixon's prognosis sounds good, but it's probably 50-50 that he's able to play in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers allowed backs to rush for 108 yards on 21 rushes in Week 1, and they caught seven balls for 63 yards against them. Bernard should be owned in all formats, and he'll be low-end RB2 if Mixon can't go.--Ryan Dodson
