*Joe Mixon – Noteworthy
RB Joe Mixon is on the verge of getting 1,000 yards with the fewest carries by a Bengals running back since Ickey Woods got his 1,066 on 203 carries 30 years ago. Mixon is averaging out to 1,057 yards on 216 carries. In Cincinnati’s four-game losing streak, Mixon is averaging five yards per carry on just 12 carries per game.
Alex Erickson – Noteworthy
WR Alex Erickson fumbled for the first time this season as a punt returner on Sunday. It was only the third time he has fumbled in 44 career games.
Cedric Ogbuehi – Noteworthy
LT Cedric Ogbuehi, a former first-round pick, was deactivated before Sunday’s game against Denver. The Bengales moved LG Clint Boling to left tackle to face Denver Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate Bradley Chubb. Ogbuehi’s Bengals career is in serious doubt when his rookie contract runs out at the end of the season.
Dre Kirkpatrick – Noteworthy
CB Dre Kirkpatrick left Sunday’s game wearing a boot, but he returned to the field in time for Denver running back Philip Lindsay breaking a touchdown run of 65 yards.
Vontaze Burfict – Noteworthy – Injury
LB Vontaze Burfict left Sunday’s game against Denver with a concussion. His availability this Sunday is uncertain.
