CINCINNATI -- Bengals running back Joe Mixon tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and will not play in Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Bengals also will be without starting quarterback Joe Burrow, who will sit out vs. the Browns to rest his "sore" right knee and injured right pinkie for the playoffs, coach Zac Taylor said. Backup Brandon Allen is expected to get the start.
Mixon's test result came back Wednesday, sources said, and he becomes the seventh Bengals player on the active roster to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
