Latest News About Joe Mixon

Here’s the latest on Joe Mixon:

• The Houston Texans reportedly placed Mixon on the reserve/physically unable to perform list after a offseason foot injury, with updates suggesting he underwent surgery and his return timeline remains uncertain. This has led to ongoing questions about his status for the 2026 season and potential roster maneuvers by the Texans.[2][4][6]
• Several outlets have indicated the team is weighing its options, including possibly parting ways or pursuing other running backs, depending on medical evaluations and prognosis for the season.[4][2]
• By late 2025, reports also noted Mixon would not play the 2025 season due to the injury, and discussions continued about whether he would be ready for 2026, with the Texans’ medical staff and front office centralized in those assessments.[3][2][4]

Illustration: If you’re tracking this season-long situation, think of Mixon’s status as a moving target that depends on medical clearance, contract considerations, and whether the Texans decide to keep him for depth or release him to free cap space.[3][4]
