10:33 pm ET: With 11:57 left in the third quarter of Monday night’s game against the Bears, Mixon ($10,200 Showdown) caught a pass in the flat and turned it into a gain of nine yards. Unfortunately, the defender making the tackle fell on his left ankle, forcing Mixon to the sideline.
Mixon went to the medical tent then eventually made his way to the locker room. He was able to walk to the locker room on his own power.
Prior to exiting, Mixon rushed seven times for 20 yards and caught three of five targets for 25 yards.
Cam Akers ($200) was the number two running back coming into the game, and will now be elevated to the top of the depth chart.
In the $1.25M Sunday Night Showdown tournament, Mixon is rostered 18.8% in the CPT slot and 67.8% in the FLEX.
