Bengals RB Mixon has 'slight tear' of meniscus

CINCINNATI -- Bengals running back Joe Mixon, who had a procedure Saturday to remove loose particles in his knee, said he will return from a knee injury when he feels comfortable.

Mixon said he had a "slight tear" in his meniscus, but he feels great and has been walking around. The procedure to repair the knee took about an hour, he said.

He joked that he'd like to run already, but said the trainers have held him back.

"Just however comfortable I feel," he said. "As soon as I feel any type of comfortability, in terms of me going out there and able to run full speed and cut a dime, that's definitely when I'll be out there.
