Joe Mixon expected to miss 2-4 weeks after knee surgery
Joe Mixon underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee Saturday and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks, according to a report.
The Cincinnati Bengals running back left the team’s game on Thursday briefly after hurting his knee before returning. He still rushed for 84 yards on 21 carries in the win over Baltimore.
Following successful arthroscopic knee surgery today, #Bengals RB Joe Mixon’s timeframe for return is roughly between 2 and 4 weeks, source said. The extra time between games should help, but likely to miss at least 1.

Giovani Bernard and Mark Walton will probably see an increase in action while Mixon is out for the 2-0 Bengals.
Cincinnati faces the Panthers and Falcons on the road in their next two games before returning home against the Dolphins in Week 5.
