Fantasy Impact

It looks like Mixon is missing another day of practice because of an ankle injury. He has been sidelined since early in the season because of it, and the timetable for his recovery remains unclear at this point. There’s a chance that he will be back in Week 6, but this isn’t a good start to the week for the veteran.

Fantasy Impact

Cook is going to miss Wednesday’s practice. He’s dealing with a foot injury of some kind, and the exact severity of it remains unknown at this point. This might be more of a precautionary thing than anything else, but fantasy managers should keep close tabs on his status throughout the rest of the week.
