4 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) continues to be one of the most watched practice participants amidst yet another absence Thursday. Whereas he did rehab work for the injury Wednesday, he was kept from that Thursday, fueling speculation that Giovani Bernard could once again be headed for a larger offensive role against the Steelers come Sunday. While Mixon has had the benefit of the bye week, he has still not suited up since Week 6; when he has been cleared, he has logged at least 16 carries in each of his six contests. In six career outings versus Pittsburgh, Mixon has logged just one touchdown, which when coupled with the Steelers' stout defense again in 2020, trends toward Mixon being a risky fantasy asset even if he does heal rapidly. Check back throughout the week for additional updates on his status as they become available.--Jesse Borek
