Overview

• General manager Nick Caserio said Mixon is making progress but provided no timetable, pointing to an update in approximately three to four weeks.
• Houston expects that checkpoint to clarify whether he can play at any point over the rest of the season.
• Mixon has missed the first five games while on reserve/NFI after being ineligible for the opening four and remaining out despite eligibility to be activated.
• The team has not detailed the injury, and local reporting has characterized the situation as tough and complicated.
• In Mixon’s absence, Nick Chubb leads the backfield with 249 rushing yards and two touchdowns, with rookie Woody Marks at 137 yards and one score through five weeks.
