Bengals vs. Packers injury report: news on Joe Mixon, Tee Higgins, Jaire Alexander and more

The Cincinnati Bengals have released their final injury report as they prepare to host the Green Bay Packers.

To the surprise of some, Joe Mixon is listed as questionable after not training all week. Mixon is suffering from an ankle injury that could cost him 1-2 games, but it shouldn’t be an extended absence.

However, head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Friday he wanted to see what Mixon can do in a practice on Saturday in hopes the veteran running back can play on Sunday. So we should have a final decision tomorrow.

Trey Hopkins is questionable playing with a knee problem. He went limited on Friday after being absent on Wednesday and Thursday, although it looks like he should be playing.

Jessie Bates will play on Sunday after not being listed on the final injury report with her neck problem.

Tee Higgins is not on the final injury report and is set to leave on Sunday. The second-year forward has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury.

Receiver Mike Thomas doubts he will play this week with an ankle injury.

Larry Ogunjobi is questionable after being restricted on Wednesday and Thursday before taking time off on Friday.

Trae Waynes is questionable after being limited all week with his persistent hamstring injuries.

It was announced earlier today that Xavier Su’a-Filo is going to the injured reserve and will miss at least three weeks to recover from his knee injury. This means Jackson Carman will start right guard for the foreseeable future.

For the Packers, star cornerback Jaire Alexander was ruled out this week with his shoulder injury, a major loss to their defense.

Starting center Josh Myers (finger) has been ruled out, while left tackle Elgton Jenkins (ankle) is questionable to play, and backup tackle Dennis Kelly (illness) is questionable.

With David Bakhtiari still on PUP, the Packers’ offensive line could be dangerously thin on Sunday against a ravaging Bengals frontline.
