Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY SportsRunning back Joe Mixon participated in Wednesday's practice with the Cincinnati Bengals after being idle last week due to a concussion.
The Bengals (7-4) host the Kansas City Chiefs (9-2) in a rematch of the AFC Championship game won by Cincinnati, 27-24 in overtime.
The teams also met in a 34-31 shootout in Cincinnati won by the Bengals in Week 17 last season.
Mixon has 158 carries for 605 yards and six touchdowns this season with 41 receptions for 314 yards and two scores as a receiver.
Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase also continued to progress toward playing in Week 13, which would be his first game since the Bengals' 35-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 23. After limping off the field, Chase returned to play in the second half, then was shut down until limited practice participation last week.
Mixon also missed the Week 12 win over the Tennessee Titans due to a concussion. Head coach Zac Taylor said Mixon remains in concussion protocol, but the final step was participation in the workout Wednesday.
Chase, 22, has 47 catches, 605 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns over seven games. He led the Bengals in all three categories before his injury, with Tee Higgins since passing him in receptions (57) and yards (826). Chase made the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2021, catching 81 passes for 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns in 17 starts.
In the Week 17 matchup with the Chiefs, Chase caught 11 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns. --Field Level Media
