Joe Mixon's Injury Not Considered Long-Term
3 weeks agoHouston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) injured his ankle in the Sunday night win over the Chicago Bears, but his injury isn't considered a long-term one after he underwent an MRI exam on Monday, according to league sources. Mixon left the game under his own power before limping into the medical tent, and he eventually returned to the game. The 28-year-old only played seven offensive snaps after returning to the contest and finished with just nine carries for 25 yards while catching three of five targets for 25 yards through the air. Mixon's status for the Week 3 contest against the Minnesota Vikings is unknown at this time, but we should have a better idea of his availability once the team resumes practicing on Wednesday. If Mixon is limited at all or out this weekend, Cam Akers and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) would be in line for bigger roles.
