Bengals RB Joe Mixon was a full participant on Friday's practice and is expected to have no issues ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Mixon was limited on Thursday with a calf injury. The running back is 75 yards shy of his second 1,000-yard season. Bengals starting right guard John Miller will be out with a concussion. As expected, A.J.

Sunday's game against the Dolphins will mark a return for Bengals coach Zac Taylor and several others on the coaching staff. Taylor was an assistant in Miami from 2012-15. Taylor on going back: "You talk about equipment mangers, the strength staff — they had a bunch of really good people in Miami that, in the four years I was there, I really felt a connection to. I'm sure all the guys on our staff that worked there do as well." Six Bengals staffers are former Miami assistants.
