It's been 282 days and counting since Joe Mixon logged a carry for the Houston Texans, and while it's not as if Mixon is the caliber of player that bonafide stars such as Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey or Derrick Henry are, Mixon provided the Texans with stability and reliability last year, logging 1,210 yards in 16 regular season and postseason games during the 2024 season.
Unfortunately, eight weeks have passed by during the 2025 campaign, and Mixon's health remains one of the great mysteries around the league. We know he's dealing with a foot and/or ankle injury.
