Cincinnati Bengals player notes for Oct 7th, 2018


*Joe Mixon – Noteworthy
RB Joe Mixon is not expected to receive a full workload in his first game back from injury. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis told the Cincinnati Enquirer that there will be some limitations placed on Mixon for Sunday’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins due to a lack of conditioning while rehabbing his knee injury. Mixon sat out the past two games after undergoing a procedure to repair a slight meniscus tear in his right knee. He was hurt in Cincinnati’s 34-23 victory over Baltimore in Week 2.

Mark Walton – Noteworthy
RB Mark Walton is expected to see an expanded role in the backfield against the Dolphins on Sunday. Walton, a fourth-round draft pick out of Miami-Fla, was inactive for the first two games this season. He had his only carry negated by penalty in a loss at Carolina in Week 3 and had nine yards on five rushes in last week’s one-point win at Atlanta. He also had two catches for 24 yards against the Falcons.
