The Cincinnati Bengals won’t be getting starting running back Joe Mixon back in the lineup when they take on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14, according to head coach Zac Taylor.
Mixon has been out with a foot injury since Week 6 and was placed on injured reserve in Week 11, making him eligible to return Sunday. However, with the Bengals eliminated from the playoffs, there is no sense in rushing him back from his injury.
In six games this season, Mixon has rushed for 428 yards and three touchdowns while adding 21 receptions for 138 yards and a score. He also agreed to a four-year, $48-million extension with the Bengals this past off-season.
