Uh-oh...Mixon might be out for a while

"Bengals running back Joe Mixon was able to return to Thursday night’s game after hurting his knee and his 84 yards helped the team move to 2-0, but he may not be able to take part in Cincinnati’s next game.

NFL Media reports that the Bengals fear Mixon needs to have arthroscopic surgery to repair the injury he suffered on Thursday night. Mixon is headed for a second opinion before deciding on any course of action, however.

Until that decision is made, there’s not going to be a clear idea of how long it will be until Mixon’s able to return to action. The Bengals are in Carolina and Atlanta the next two weeks before returning home for games with the Dolphins and Steelers.

Giovani Bernard, fourth-round pick Mark Walton and Tra Carson are the other backs on the 53-man roster in Cincinnati.

The Bengals are also expected to be without defensive end Michael Johnson for the next few weeks. Johnson sprained his MCL in Thursday’s win."

Next man up. Nothing more to be done.

[The Real Deal]

Bad.

Bad bad bad
Bad.

This is terrible news for me as I have Joe in 2 FF leagues.

I hope the kid is OK

This.

Can't expect to go through a season without losing a few players to injury.  In the big scheme of things this is not that bad.  Even if you don't think Gio is as good as Mixon you have to admit that he is a pretty damn good #2.  Last year he averaged 4.4 ypc behind the same O-line that Mixon only produced 3.5.

And no way this takes Mixon out for the whole season or threatens his career.

The #Bengals fear RB Joe Mixon will need arthroscopic surgery to clean up the knee he injured in last night’s win over the #Ravens and miss some time, sources tell @MikeGarafolo and me. He’ll get a second opinion first.

This is the report referred to by PFT

We can’t have nice things.

[Arturo Bandini]

This is bad news but Gio is a very good replacement.

[kdgjr]

Go go Gio!!

How the hell can you get a "second opinion first"?

[Nicomo Cosca]

We can’t even be happy for one damn day!

4 to 6 weeks seams to be the time period.
We have a deep back field though so I am not that worried.

Mixon is expected to be out two weeks, per Schefter.

Not all that deep. Sure, Gio is good but beyond that it goes way downhill. I don't even know how Walton made the team except he was a 4th round draft pick.

I heard Bell needs a job.

HUGE if true.

I was just about to whine and curse and say "See this is why we should have kept Jeremy Hill as our 3rd running back" then I saw and read ....

Two weeks is no big deal. Hopefully no their issues pop up and we have him back for Miami at the least Pittsburgh.

Walton has been held out of the previous two games with a shoulder injury and it is uncertain if he will be available for Week 3 against the Panthers

Is anyone getting the Eifert vibe from Joe?
