Texans’ Joe Mixon dealing with leg injury

Joe Mixon will miss the first four games of the 2025 NFL season due to a foot injury, affecting the Texans' offense; he rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2024.

  • On Monday, the Houston Texans moved running back Joe Mixon to the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list, sidelining him for at least the first four games before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET roster deadline; the Texans said, `We will provide further updates at an appropriate time`.
  • Originally placed on the active/Non-Football Injury list on July 23 for a foot injury suffered while away from the team, Joe Mixon's condition was downplayed but later proved worse, leading to his move to the reserve/NFI list.
  • With Mixon sidelined, the Texans can turn to Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale and rookie Woody Marks, while veteran Nick Chubb and Marks bolster the backfield after Mixon missed three games last season.
  • With rosters trimming to 53 players, Houston Texans coaches may add running backs before Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, while Nick Chubb handles the bulk and snaps are spread due to his injury history.
  • Under reserve/NFI rules, Joe Mixon cannot play until after the Texans' fourth game, sidelining him for next month's matches against the Los Angeles Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Tennessee Titans.
