Joe Mixon Not playing against Minnesota

Mixon has been downgraded to out and will not travel to Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

It's a frustrating outcome given Mixon seemed confident following Sunday's win over the Bears that he would play, but also a likely outcome given the star running back was initially ruled doubtful following the team's final injury report Friday. Cam Akers is set to take on the majority of the rushing opportunities with Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also out Sunday, but Dare Ogunbowale will likely be a significant factor as a pass catcher out of the backfield as well.
