Bengals running back Joe Mixon is off the injury report and is expected to start on Sunday against the Browns, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Mixon cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol after missing the last two games due to a head injury. Running back Samaje Perine has started in his place and has performed admirably, rushing for 194 yards and a touchdown while also tallying 136 yards receiving.
With how well Perine played, there was discussion in NFL circles regarding whether or not Mixon would start once he returned.
