Texans' Joe Mixon: Will not return this season
www.cbssports.comHere are the latest updates on Joe Mixon:
- Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon reportedly underwent offseason foot surgery and is not currently expected to be active for the 2026 season. Multiple outlets note that his status is uncertain and could be influenced by medical evaluations and potential roster moves (notably around his contract and cap implications) [sources: Fox Sports, NBC Sports, CBS Sports].[3][4]
- The Texans have been described as evaluating Mixon’s health and future with the team, with reports indicating the possibility of parting ways or placing him on the physically unable to perform list, depending on medical prognosis and team needs for 2026.[2][4]
- Statistically, Mixon totaled over 1,000 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns in 2024 with Houston, but his 2025 season was largely washed due to the foot/ankle injury, with ongoing uncertainty about return in 2026.[4][2]
