Joe Mixon Health, Injury Updates & History

Has officially been placed on the NFI list due to the lingering foot issues, confirming he will miss...

Will miss an extended period of time due to a foot issue. His 2020 season was also cut short due to a Lisfranc injury in his right foot, it is still unclear which foot or the severity, but worth monitoring

Listed as questionable with an ankle injury sustained in practice this week, ahead of Saturday's game vs the Chiefs, he was a DNP on Thursday after sustaining the injury earlier in the week, he's probably to play, but will likely be ineffective if he does play

Was a limited participant in practice on Thursday with the ankle injury he has been managing since falling victim to a hip-drop tackle in Week 2, he's making a push to be available on Sunday but that status will be made official towards the end of the practice week

Listed as a DNP on Wednesday with an ankle injury, hasn't played since Week 2 and has managed just one limited practice since then, head coach DeMeco Ryans isn't sure if Mixon will be available this Sunday at New England, he will need to be monitored for an official status update at the end of the week

Has been ruled out of Week 5 with an ankle injury, he was unable to practice this week and the Texans are targeting an October 13th return date for Mixon

Did not travel with the team to Minnesota and has been downgraded to Out for this week's game, he has been dealing with a high ankle sprain since last week's game

Is Doubtful for Week 3 against the Vikings with the ankle he sustained last week, he wasn't seen at practice on Friday but the Texans are holding out hope he might play this week

Joe Mixon was injured on a presumed, but uncalled hip drop tackle and appeared to suffer a right high ankle sprain, he left for the locker room, returned to the game in week two but was ineffective and ultimately replaced by Cam Akers, with this type of high ankle sprain, it would be good news to avoid injured reserve, we see Mixon missing some time for the Houston Texans at least Week 3 or 4 due to the high ankle sprain, but should have a good recover recovery without surgery soon

He will be evaluated throughout the week after his ankle was rolled up on in Sunday's game, a more official determination of his timeline will be made clearer towards the end of the week
