How Much Will Mixon Produce When He Returns?

Personally, I'd rather they put him on a shelf the rest of the year. Why run the risk of making it a nagging injury? We're in a skid anyway, why finish the season with a few more yards and run the risk of having a runningback issue next season? We're not playing for a playoff spot, so we aren't playing for much of anything.
