The Bengals won’t be seeing the backfield duo of Giovani Bernard and Joe Mixon for at least a few more weeks.
Just as Mixon is set to return from minor knee surgery, Bernard will miss the next 2-4 weeks due to an MCL sprain, according to Tom Pelissero.
#Bengals RB Giovani Bernard is out 2-4 weeks with an MCL sprain, source said. So just as Joe Mixon returns from his injury, Bernard — effective in Mixon’s absence, with 3 TDs and 4.8 yards a carry the past 2 games — now replaces him in the training room.
