Mixon (ankle) has been downgraded to out and will not travel to Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

It's a frustrating outcome given Mixon seemed confident following Sunday's win over the Bears that he would play, but the decision isn't surprising given the star running back was initially ruled doubtful following the team's final injury report Friday. Cam Akers is set to take on the majority of the rushing opportunities due to Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also being out Sunday, and Dare Ogunbowale will likely be a significant factor as a pass catcher out of the backfield as well.
