The Bengals got some sobering news after Thursday night’s game.
Joe Mixon needed a minor surgery on his knee that would cause him to miss at least two games.
Then, Tra Carson hurt his hamstring in preparation for the Cincinnati’s game against Carolina on Sunday. That caused the team to waive him and sign Thomas Rawls as an emergency back. What was once a deep position for the Bengals is suddenly on its last leg.
However, Giovani Bernard, who is going to become the feature back in Mixon’s absence, isn’t worried about the extra playing time.
