The Houston Texans do not expect running back Joe Mixon to play this season as he continues to recover from an offseason foot injury, NFL Network reported Thursday.
Mixon, 29, was placed on the non-football injury list this summer with hopes that he could eventually return to the field. He made his second Pro Bowl and recorded his fifth career 1,000-yard season in his first year with the Texans in 2024.
Instead, the Texans (5-5) are prepared to finish the season with running backs Nick Chubb and Woody Marks, per the report.
Houston has won two straight games and three of its last four entering Thursday night's game against the visiting Buffalo Bills (7-3).
Mixon played 14 games (all starts) and rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. He added 36 receptions for 309 yards and one score.
He has 7,428 rushing yards and 60 touchdowns along with 319 catches for 2,448 yards and 14 scores in 111 career games (102 starts) with the Cincinnati Bengals (2017-23) and Texans. The Bengals drafted him in the second round in 2017.
