The theme of ‘Bengals suffer injury to player they can’t afford to be injured’ continued on Thursday, as running back Joe Mixon was absent for the start of practice.
The injury report has since come out, and Mixon was listed as a limited participant with a knee injury. That would suggest the injury happened at some point in Wednesday’s practice, which caused him to miss part of Thursday’s practice.
Mixon may have aggravated a knee injury he suffered earlier this year that led to minor surgery and a brief absence, though he’s looked healthy since returning to the starting lineup.
