Houston’s Texans, Joe Mixon, will not be on the field for the first four games of the season.
The Texans will not activate Mixon out of the non-fotball injury list before the deadline for 4 p.m. on Tuesday, which makes him ineligible to play the first four games.
“We will officially move RB Joe Mixon from the list of active injuries / non-football to the list of reserve / non-football injuries”, the press release read on X. “The players placed on the reserve / non-football injury list could start to train and play after the fourth match of the regular season club. We will provide other updates at an appropriate time.

Mixon was faced with an ankle injury he suffered during the offseason.
The 29 -year -old has a solid first season with Houston in 2024, where he rushed to 1,016 yards with 11 hit on the ground. He got the honors of the Pro Bowl for his efforts.

But with a potential absence in the cards for the Texans, they were proactive to obtain another veteran with a good production spent in the building in case this situation arises.
Nick Chubb was signed after his seven years in a uniform of Cleveland Browns. Chubb, who will be 30 years old in December, played only eight games last season, rushing for 332 yards with three affected at 102 attempts.

Chubb suffered a horrible leg injury in 2023 in his second game of the season, which forced a long recovery. Before that, he came out of a campaign in 2022, his fourth consecutive season Pro Bowl, where he harvested 1,525 yards on the ground and 12 affected for Cleveland.
The Texans also examined the future potential for position when they drafted Woody Marks from the USC in April. Marks was a choice of fourth round which ran for 1,133 yards out of 198 attempts with nine scores on the ground, as well as 321 yards out of 47 catches.

Houston will probably count on these two to take over by Mixon, who, according to them, will also be able to return after these four missed games to start the year.
