WJ3 started on the outside in place of Adam Jones and played the entire game. Dennard was the nickel corner.
WJ3 played the rest of the Browns game when Jones got hurt and didn't finish.
As for the rotation of Jones/WJ3 - we'll see how that goes when Jones is back totally healthy. WJ3 is playing well of course, but Jones hasn't been terrible, either.
As for WJ3/Dennard - they said specifically he can't play the slot, at least not yet. There are some physical issues there (long, some stiffness) etc. He's playing well outside, so I can't see them asking him to move inside with Dennard there.
I think the proper question re: Mixon isn't "playing more" - he's technically playing the most. It's how he's being used. Which clearly remains an issue.
