Texans RB Mixon's Injury: A 'Freak' Medical Mystery
22 Jan
Summary
- Joe Mixon's foot injury is described as a 'freak' medical situation.
- The Texans running back missed the entire 2025 season due to the injury.
- General Manager Nick Caserio provided a vague update on Mixon's status.
Texans General Manager Nick Caserio recently addressed the mysterious foot injury that sidelined running back Joe Mixon for the entire 2025 season. Caserio characterized the injury as a "freak" medical situation that did not improve as anticipated.
Mixon, a Pro Bowl selection in 2024, sustained the injury away from the facility during the offseason. While the team was largely tight-lipped about the specifics of his recovery throughout the season, Caserio clarified that it was not due to irresponsible behavior.
He elaborated that the condition "never really didn't improve maybe as much as everybody would have hoped." The Texans offense clearly missed Mixon's contributions, with rookie Woody Marks and veteran Nick Chubb carrying the load. Mixon has one year remaining on his contract, and his status for the upcoming season remains uncertain.
