Overview

• Joe Mixon will begin camp on the non-football injury list after his ankle failed to heal in time for organized team activities and minicamp.
• The NFI designation confirms under NFL rules that Mixon’s ankle issue occurred outside Texans’ facilities.
• Mixon, a Pro Bowler in 2024, rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns but has battled the same ankle concern since late last season.
• Houston signed four-time Pro Bowler Nick Chubb and selected USC rookie Woody Marks in the fourth round to shore up running back depth.
• The Texans anticipate a short-term absence for Mixon and have allocated early camp reps to Chubb and Marks as they manage his recovery.
