Keeping pace with Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams and the Green Bay Packers' offense is never easy. At least Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals will have the help of their star running back in trying to do so.
Joe Mixon, previously listed as questionable on Cincinnati's Week 5 injury report, wasn't on the Bengals' list of inactives Sunday morning, ensuring he'll suit up against the Packers.

Mixon sat out practice all week after suffering a sprained ankle in his team's Week 4 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Zac Taylor on Friday hinted at the veteran running back possibly being available while meeting with reporters.
“He's in good spirits. We'll give him an extra day to see where he's at and then meet and make a decision,” Taylor said, per the Bengals' website. “We'll see how he feels. He's a big presence in what we do. We'll give him some treatment and see what he does.”
Mixon has emerged as a true workhorse for the Bengals in his fifth NFL season. His 353 rushing yards on 83 carries are each top-three marks league-wide.
Cincinnati and Green Bay, both 3-1, kickoff from Paul Brown Stadium at 1:00 p.m. (EST).
