Sitting on cart on sidelines icing left foot/ankle. Walking gingerly per Jim O.

I have heard a couple people already call it more of a precaution than anything. They said he ran another couple plays before shutting it down, including one where he ran a route. I think we are okay.

You know someone who is key is going down. It's the way shit goes. It's not if, it's when. Looks like a bullet has been dodged here though.

He's doing fine. Chill out guys.

Just a bruised heel.....would have still played in a game

I know it, I freakin dread this time of year. No reason this many players around the league are getting hurt already. Some for the season. So if Mixon just has a sprain and it keeps him off the field for a week or so, I'm fine with that. I know players need to practice but damn it's nerve racking. I would be very curious to see how many college players get injured in the pre season compared to the NFL.

Got a kick to back of foot, he put his shoe back on and and walked to sideline not limping or anything and watched rest of practice.

I hate Cincy jungle. They made it sound like a severe injury

That's right.

Whew! at first glance, I thought uh-oh here we go again! But, maybe the man upstairs is finally looking down on us!

According to Hobson, who said Iloka would just be a couple days... right before the team announced he'd be out for 3-4 weeks.
According to Hobson, who said Eifert was just a bone bruise and wouldn't miss any games... right before he missed the first 6 games entirely.
According to Hobson, who said Dalton would be back for the Postseason... right before he didn't start throwing again for like 3 months.

Hobson's injury reporting is about as reliable as a one-legged blind guard dog.

I read this an hour ago and lost consciousness, hit the floor and evidently pissed myself. Glad he is doing ok. Damn! We need a guardian angel. Whoops, here comes the outcry. Ok, we also need guardian thoughts.

Whew, that was close.

Personally, I really don't care if Mixon sits out this year. I have faith Hill and Gio can handle the load. Mixon has not even played a regular season game yet to see how he does and people are panicking.

You do know we're Bengals fans right?  It's our God-given right to throw an irrational sh*t fit at the slightest sliver of adversity.

In all seriousness though I'm beyond glad he's okay.  I can now wipe away the half gallon of sweat from my brow.

They do seem to make every small thing about the team seem like a serious news item.
