  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Ruled out for Sunday

    Mixon (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Mixon was unable to practice this week and will target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 13 against the Patriots. Meanwhile, fellow RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is listed as questionable, so it's possible that he'll bolster a Houston backfield Week 5 that's been led by Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale of late.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Not expected to play Week 5

    Mixon (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network repots.

    Mixon hasn't yet participated in practice for Houston this week, and it sounds like he's trending toward sitting out Friday's session and Sunday's game. That would make his next chance to play Week 6 on the road against New England. If Mixon can't go Sunday, it will constitute his third straight absence, though Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports that head coach DeMeco Ryans continues to label the veteran running back "day-to-day." With Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also not yet practicing, Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale appear likely to lead the Texans backfield versus Buffalo.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Still not practicing

    Mixon (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    The same applies to fellow RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring), according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. The duo's continued absence from practice sets the stage for Friday's session to loom large with regard to both player's chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. For his part, coach DeMeco Ryans has maintained that Mixon is "day-to-day" ahead of Week 5 action, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. For now, Houston's top healthy backfield option is Cam Akers, who has started the team's last two contests.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Not practicing Wednesday

    Mixon (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Mixon, who has missed the Texans' last two games, thus has two more chances to practice ahead of this weekend's contest against the Bills. Meanwhile, fellow running back Dameon Pierce (hamstring) was spotted on the field during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice but ultimately went down as a non-participant on the official injury report, per Wilson. Cam Akers will likely lead the Texans' ground attack Week 5 if neither Mixon nor Pierce is cleared to play.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Labeled day-to-day

    Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Mixon (ankle) is "day-to-day," Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Ryans said the same of wideout Tank Dell (chest), who, along with Mixon, sat out Houston's 24-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 4. Ryans said, "We'll see this week with a week of practice," whether Mixon and Dell are able to return for Sunday's pivotal matchup against the Bills. With both Mixon and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) having missed the Texans' last two games, Cam Akers was given another chance to start versus Jacksonville, racking up 53 yards on 13 carries. Wednesday's first official injury report of Week 5 stands to reveal more about the chances of Mixon and/or Pierce getting back on the field versus Buffalo.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Officially inactive

    Mixon (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Mixon returned to a limited session Friday before being deemed questionable heading into the weekend. With Mixon officially inactive for the second straight contest and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also still out, Cam Akers -- who started in place of Mixon in Week 3 -- is in line to continue to see an expanded role in Houston's backfield versus Jacksonville, with Dare Ogunbowale, British Brooks and J.J. Taylor available to handle complementary backfield touches. Mixon will target a potential return to action Oct. 6 against the Bills.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Not slated to play Sunday

    Mixon (ankle) is not in line to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Mixon was listed as questionable for the contest, with his Week 4 status slated to be officially confirmed once the Texans' inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. In his looming absence, Cam Akers is once again slated to lead Houston's backfield.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Considered game-time decision

    Mixon (ankle) is trending toward being a game-time decision Sunday against the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Rapoport continued to suggest that it '...seems to be an uphill climb to play..." for Mixon, though Mixon seems determined to try to play. Teammate Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has already been ruled out, and J.J. Taylor has been elevated from the practice squad.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: At practice Friday

    Mixon (ankle) was present for practice Friday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    The Texans' top back was sidelined both Wednesday and Thursday, as was fellow RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring), but Mixon's presence on the field Friday offers some hope that he'll return to action Sunday against the Jaguars. The team's upcoming injury report will reveal both Mixon's participation level and his Week 4 game status.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Questionable after limited practice

    Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after returning to a limited practice Friday.

    Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Mixon looked good in his return to practice and had a solid day of work Friday. Added context regarding the running back's Week 4 status should arrive either late Saturday or early Sunday via national reporters such as Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, but fortunately for those considering Mixon in fantasy lineups, the Texans kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Mixon ends up limited or out versus Jacksonville, Cam Akers would be in line for added backfield touches because Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is slated to to miss his third straight game.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Still not practicing

    Mixon (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also remained sidelined at practice, leaving both running backs in danger of sitting out again Sunday against the Jaguars. The Texans will wait and see if Mixon is able to get back on the practice field in some fashion Friday, but if not, he'll likely be ruled out for a second consecutive game. Cam Akers would once again be in line to lead Houston's backfield in Week 4 if Mixon and Pierce are sidelined.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Still not practicing

    Mixon (ankle) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    According to Wilson, Mixon is viewed as week-to-week in his recovery from an ankle injury he suffered Week 2. The week-to-week label doesn't bode well for Mixon's chances of being available Sunday against the Jaguars, though Wilson relays the Texans have more optimism that Dameon Pierce (hamstring) will be able to avoid a third straight missed game. Pierce joined Mixon as a spectator for Wednesday's practice, however, leaving Cam Akers to take on running-back reps with the first-team offense.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Not seen at practice

    Mixon (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Wilson suggested earlier Wednesday that Dameon Pierce (hamstring) may be closer to a return to action than Mixon, though neither running back was present for the start of the Texans' first Week 4 practice. While both backs were sidelined for this past Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings, Cam Akers drew the start out of the backfield and finished with 21 yards on nine carries to go with one reception for an eight-yard touchdown.
