Joe Mixon: No clarity on status heading into 2026 season

There remains no clarity on if Joe Mixon will play next season.

Fantasy Impact

Mixon missed all of this past season with the Texans on the PUP list. Woody Marks and Nick Chubb led the team's backfield as a result. “When you have your best players, you’re going to be a better team,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. “Joe, he’s a really great running back for us and not having him, yes, of course, it affected our running game. Joe is one of the top running backs in this league. That affected us.” Mixon remains under contract as of now with Houston heading into next season.
