To the OP... I don't think this has anything to do with the medical staff. He needs to quit gettin' tackled or something though.

I know he sure didn't get off to a big start, but what if we stopped throwing the ball because Burrow didn't come out of the gate on fire.  (He didn't against SD, if you recall).  Mixon is a crazy talented back but we have largely used him as a RB on first and second down, completely ignoring his prowess as a receiver.  They have one game where they use him more as a receiver and he has a career day.  I question the usage and how quickly they abandon the run in games that also led to opposing teams teeing off on Burrow.

You have to stay committed to a rushing attack to keep the opposition honest.  To be fair, they have been getting progressively more balanced on offense as the season goes on but Mixon has been injured.  I am not going to put in on the Bengal's staff, as only Mixon knows what is going on with his body.
