Bengals rookie running back Joe Mixon (concussion) practiced on Thursday, making it likely he’ll play in Week 15 against the Vikings in Minnesota.
On the season, his numbers indicate disappointment, running for 518 yards and four touchdowns, but only 3.3 yards per carry.
He’s also caught 27 passes for 266 yards.
But according to Pro Football Focus, Mixon has been the league’s 14th-best running back with a grade of 81.4. He’s above guys like Leonard Fournette, Derrick Henry and Melvin Gordon.
It will be interesting to see how many carries Mixon gets. In the two previous games before getting hurt against Pittsburgh in Week 13, Mixon carried the ball 20 or more times in each game, including running 23 times for 114 yards in a win over Cleveland on Nov. 26.
