Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Joe Mixon won't play in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings after he was downgraded from questionable to out due to a concussion.
Mixon missed last week's loss to the Chicago Bears with the problem, which he sustained in Week 13.
Giovani Bernard will likely take the bulk of the carries in Mixon's absence, with rookies Brian Hill and Jarveon Williams acting as backups.
