Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon, a 1,000-yard rusher last season, will miss the first four games of the upcoming NFL campaign with a foot injury, the team announced on Monday.Mixon, who originally only had been questionable for week one,

The Houston Texans will be without standout running back Joe Mixon for the start of the 2025 season due to an ankle injury.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans hasn’t updated the public on Mixon’s status either. Mixon was the Texans lead back last season in his first season with the franchise. The 29-year-old had 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground in 14 games in 2024.

It's unclear who the immediate starter is over Mixon, so the Rams will likely see some combination of Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale, ex-Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb and fourth-round rookie Woody Marks. Chubb is listed as the team's second running back, but all four players have seen action in training camp and in the preseason.

The Houston Texans are placing running back Joe Mixon on the Non Football Injury (NFI) list to start the season, per Aaron Wilson. This move isn’t too surprising, as Mixon has yet to practice after starting training camp on the NFI list.
