On Monday afternoon, the Houston Texans announced that they will not be activating running back Joe Mixon off of the league’s Active/Non-Football Injury list ahead of Tuesday’s 3:00 p.m. CT deadline. Instead, they will move him to the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list which means he will have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season.
With Mixon sidelined for the first month of the season, the Texans backfield will be led by veteran Nick Chubb and Dameon Pierce. Veteran and special-teamer Dare Ogunbowale is also there to provide carries in a pinch, as well.
Mixon started the 2024 season off hot with 184 rushing yards through the team’s first two games. After missing the next three due to injury, Mixon recorded at least 100 rushing yards in six of the team’s next eight games from Week Six to Week 13, including 10 rushing touchdowns. However, his momentum cooled off immensely as he managed 30 or more rushing yards just once in the team’s final four contests and failed to find the end zone entirely in that span.
