3 years agoThe Cincinnati Bengals placed running back Joe Mixon (illness) on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, and he will miss Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals have a chance for the No. 1 seed but need help from other teams to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Mixon finishes the 2021 season with 1,205 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns while catching 42 passes for 314 yards and three scores over 16 games. Samaje Perine will lead the Bengals backfield with Mixon out and is considered a mid-range RB2 against the Browns in Week 18.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
