Joe Mixon Fantasy Overview

The Seahawks are signing RB Joe Mixon to their practice squad, pending a physical, according to multiple reports. Our last update on Mixon came in July and read, "Joe Mixon doesn't expect to play again." He missed the entire 2025 campaign after suffering a mysterious foot injury that offseason. Mixon ran for 1,016 yards on 4.1 yards per carry back in 2024. He turned 30 in July.

RB Joe Mixon has told former Bengals teammates that he doesn't expect to play again, according to insider Aaron Wilson. Mixon missed all of 2025 with a mysterious foot injury and hasn't surfaced this offseason.

The Texans released RB Joe Mixon, according to multiple reports. Mixon requested the move, and the team probably had no issue obliging considering how the last 12 months played out. Mixon suffered a foot injury away from the team last offseason and missed the entire 2025 campaign. The move saves Houston $8 million in cap space.

Texans RB Joe Mixon remains uncertain for 2026, GM Nick Caserio said at Wednesday's end-of-season press conference. Caserio didn't give many details on Mixon's foot, calling it a "freak" injury. "It was more of a medical condition or situation that never ... really didn't improve maybe as much as everybody would have hoped," he said. Caserio added that the team isn't exactly sure where Mixon is at in his recovery. "We haven't seen Joe in a little bit, so I think at some point we'll see him and then we'll be able to evaluate kind of where he is and then based on information, we'll see where his status is." This has been and remains a weird situation. We'll keep you updated on Mixon's status throughout the offseason. He has one year but no guaranteed money left on his contract, so he'd be a relatively easy cut. Dynasty managers should not be counting on Mixon in 2026 or beyond. And he's probably best just avoiding in best-ball drafts until we know more about his health.
