CINCINNATI -- Bengals running back Joe Mixon looks poised make his return in Sunday's game against the Dolphins following a knee procedure that sidelined him for two weeks.
Mixon missed games against the Panthers and Falcons after going through a procedure to remove loose particles in his knee. Giovani Bernard was Mixon's backup in his absence, but Bernard injured his knee on the final drive of Sunday's game against the Falcons and has been declared out against the Dolphins this weekend.
Although Mixon is still wearing a brace on his knee, he returned to practice this week and has no designation on Friday's injury report, meaning he's good to play.
