After months of vague updates, Houston Texans star running back Joe Mixon is reportedly expected to remain on the non-football injury list through the season. His continued absence is a crushing blow, though the news shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone who’s followed this bizarre situation.
Mixon has been dealing with a mysterious foot/ankle issue dating back to the early stages of Houston’s 2025 workout program. He missed the entire offseason and hasn’t appeared in a game since. Texans general manager Nick Caserio and head coach DeMeco Ryans have each expressed uncertainty whenever asked about him.
