Training camps opened across the NFL this week, and the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers meet in Canton, Ohio, July 31 to officially start the forecast.
As the excitement of the 2025 season builds, at least one that runs back is likely to spend the month of August looking from the sidelines.
The Houston Texans star Joe Mixon’s sustained ankle question is expected to prevent him from looking after this trial season.

The two-time Pro Bowler is likely to undergo a further evaluation closer to the beginning of the regular season, according to ESPN. The Texans are scheduled to squat against Los Angeles Rams 7 September of week 1.

Mixon started training the camp on the list of non-football damage. The schedule came after Mixon seemed to maintain an ankle injury earlier this season. He did not take the track under MiniCamp.

This is not the first time Mixon has fought for ankle problems. He was sidelined in three matches in 2024 after worsening his ankle. Mixon also sat two matches in 2022 with a concussion.
He treated a few apparent ankle sprains in 2021, though he still managed to perform in 16 games that season. A foot injury in week 6 of 2020 brought Mixon’s season to an early end.

The 29-year-old comes out of a strong season that rushes at 1,016 yards in 2024. Mixon also ran for 11 touchdowns and had a receiving score last year.
The Texans added to the running back room this season by signing all-pro Nick Chubb. Houston’s Front Office also used a selection of fourth rounds on Woody Marks.
The Texans open their Forsy season August 9 against the Minnesota Vikings.
