Joe Mixon is set to miss his second game in a row Sunday—this one against the Minnesota Vikings—which will cause the Cincinnati Bengals to look elsewhere for offensive production.
The rookie running back had his best game of the year in a Week 12 win over the Cleveland Browns with 114 yards on 23 carries and a rushing touchdown to go with three catches and 51 yards receiving. However, he suffered a concussion the next week and has been out since. Katherine Terrell of ESPN reported he would be out in Week 15 after he once again failed the league's concussion protocol.
