🔥 Texans GM Nick Caserio gave an update: Mixon is dealing with a “freak” foot injury and hasn’t been seen for a bit. They’ll assess him once more information comes in to determine where things stand for next season.
🕵️♂️ The injury happened off the field during the offseason; Caserio stressed it wasn’t due to reckless activity and described it as a unique medical situation that didn’t improve as hoped.
📊 In last year’s playoffs, Houston reached the divisional round for the third straight season, but five turnovers against the New England Patriots knocked them out of the AFC Championship mix.
🏃♂️ Offense without Mixon leaned on young and steady backs: rookie Woody Marks led the team with 703 rushing yards, while veteran Nick Chubb added 506 yards.
🏁 Mixon is on a 3-year, $27 million extension with one year left; whether he can be ready for training camp is still up in the air, pending medical clarity.
Stay tuned as more medical updates roll in and teams map out the next steps for Mixon and Houston’s backfield. 🔥🏈📊
