He was walking just fine -normal speed and no limp- after the game, so He probably just needs to rest it again.

BTW, I don't think he's looked slow in the slightest; he isn't breaking arm tackles as easily and is slipping/tripping a lot (he tripped over Sample and slipped TWICE in the first half yesterday. Changed cleats at halftime {or got extra tape or something} and he didn't slip anymore after that) lately.

Just rest him on practice days.

Maybe that's what I was seeing yesterday then. All I know is I saw several holes that Mixon usually turns into 10 to 20 yard runs but he was only getting 5 yards on them, which I thought was bizarre. I attributed it to him not getting through the hole before it closed due to speed, but maybe it was just slips and trips that held him back yesterday.
