The Bengals are hurting at running back ahead of their Week 3 matchup with the Panthers.
Joe Mixon is out after undergoing knee surgery that will sideline him 2-4 weeks. Tra Carson injured himself Monday and has since been waived in favor of Thomas Rawls, who couldn’t even finish practice Wednesday due to cramps.
As for the presumed starter this week, Giovani Bernard now has a knee injury that had him limited on Wednesday. It’s unclear when this injury occurred and how serious it may be.
