Former Bengals Running Back Joe Mixon Won't Play This Season for Texans, per Report
Joe Mixon continues rehab for a complex foot injury with uncertain progress; Texans rely on backups as he missed all 2025 games after a Pro Bowl 2024 season.
- Nov. 20, 2025: NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported Joe Mixon, Houston Texans running back, is not expected to play this season as he continues rehab.
- Mixon missed OTAs in May 2025 and was placed on the NFI list after training camp on July 22, 2025, with sources describing a complicated foot/ankle issue needing non-surgical procedures and a walking boot.
- Mixon's 2024 totals included 1,016 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, while Houston signed Nick Chubb and drafted Woody Marks, who out-snapped Chubb 338 to 253 and added receiving value.
- The Texans have leaned on Woody Marks and Nick Chubb as they enter Week 12 with a 5-5 record, ranked 23rd in rushing and outside the AFC playoff race.
- Despite leaving the door open, Texans general manager Nick Caserio said, `I don’t think we have any more clarity at this point` on Nov. 18, 2025, while outside reports say Joe Mixon likely won’t return this year.
