Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is not expected to play vs. the Bills this weekend, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mixon was limited in practice last Friday but has missed the first two practices of this week. So it looks like he suffered a setback.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. That's a disappointing start to the week after he put in a limited practice last Friday. Perhaps Houston is just giving him some early-week rest, but Mixon's availability for Sunday's game vs. the Bills remains uncertain. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also missed Wednesday's practice.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, which should put him on track to play in Week 5. His absence today – along with RB Dameon Pierce’s – leaves Cam Akers as Houston’s lead back again. He’ll lose passing-down snaps to RB Dare Ogunbowale but is a serviceable RB3 or Flex play with the Texans 5.5-point home favorites.
Joe Mixon will not play against the Jaguars today. He feels good, but the Texans are giving him another week off to ensure he is fully recovered from his ankle injury. RB Cam Akers will be the starter with RB Dameon Pierce also out for another week.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is a game-time decision for today's tilt with the Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mixon only got in a limited practice on Friday. Mixon "has worked hard to be back and even though it seems to be an uphill climb to play, he hasn't given up trying. He'll test it out," Rapoport tweeted. That sounds like Mixon is on the wrong side of 50/50 to play against Jacksonville. We still have him projected out as of now but will adjust the RB Rankings if Mixon ends up active.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. He put in a limited practice on Friday after sitting out the previous two days. That gives Mixon a shot to play on Sunday, although we're still projecting him to miss as of now. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has been ruled out, leaving RB Cam Akers as Houston's lead back if Mixon sits.
Texans RBs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. Neither looks likely to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend. That will again leave Cam Akers as the primary early-down back, with RB Dare Ogunbowale handling passing downs. Akers got game-scripted out of touches in last week's loss to the Vikings but is likely to handle more work on Sunday with his Texans 6.5-point favorites.
Texans RB Joe Mixon is still "week to week" with his ankle injury, according to insider Aaron Wilson. It doesn't sound like Mixon is likely to play vs. the Jaguars on Sunday. Houston is expected to get RB Dameon Pierce back from his hamstring injury for that one, per Wilson.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He didn't practice all week and isn't a lock to be back for Week 4. With RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also out, Houston elevated RB J.J. Taylor from the practice squad. RB Cam Akers figures to operate as the lead back against Minnesota, but we're projecting RB Dare Ogunbowale to play plenty on passing downs. See where Akers lands in the Week 3 RB Rankings.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings after missing practice all week. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has been ruled out. That leaves RB Cam Akers as Houston's lead back. He had an impressive preseason coming off his second Achilles tear, averaging 4.7 yards per carry and ranking ninth among 108 qualifying RBs in Pro Football Focus' rushing grades. Akers should dominate Texans carries this weekend, although we expect him to lose passing-down snaps to RB Dare Ogunbowale.
