CINCINNATI — Former Bengals running back Joe Mixon suffered an ankle injury on Sunday after Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards brought him down with a hip-drop tackle.
No penalty was thrown.
Mixon, now a member of the Houston Texans, shared his thoughts on social media on Sunday night.
"The NFL and NFLPA made it a rule and an emphasis for a reason. Time to put your money where your mouth is," Mixon tweeted. "When I got up I asked the ref where is the flag that was a hip tackle and his reply was no it wasn’t."
The NFL is reviewing the tackle according to Ian Rapoport and Edwards could be fined. Meanwhile, Mixon is undergoing a MRI on his ankle on Monday.
