The Bengals plan to evaluate Mixon (ankle) Saturday before determining the running back's status for Sunday's game against the Packers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
With that in mind, Mixon is expected to be listed as questionable when Cincinnati releases its final Week 5 injury report later Friday. If Mixon doesn't fare well in his evaluation Saturday, the Bengals could downgrade him to doubtful or out ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Mixon ends up limited versus Green Bay or sits out entirely, Samaje Perine would be in line to see added carries for the Bengals, with Chris Evans likely to see an expanded third-down role.
