The Houston Texans made Joe Mixon the focal point of their offense last season, but the star running back has been sidelined with a foot injury this year. However, there has been nothing to suggest that his status is going to change in 2025.
Mixon was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list prior to the season. That ruled him out for at least the first four games of the year, but he has not resumed practicing ahead of Week 5. The two-time Pro Bowl back dealt with foot injuries last season and reportedly suffered another one while away from the Texans over the summer.

Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle was asked about Mixon’s injury in the reporter’s latest mailbag column , which was published on Wednesday.
