Bengals' Giovani Bernard: Dealing with concussion

Bernard sat out Wednesday's practice after he was placed in the NFL's concussion protocol, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Bernard presumably picked up the injury in Sunday's loss to Washington. With Joe Mixon (foot) still on injured reserve, Samaje Perine and Trayveon Williams would be in line for added backfield work if Bernard isn't cleared for Sunday's game against the Giants.
