Texas Texans running back Joe Mixon is starting training camp on the non-football injury list, indicating he is not yet cleared to participate in team activities. The situation has raised concerns among fans and analysts about his readiness for the upcoming season. Mixon, who was a first-round draft pick in 2019, has not played in a regular-season game since 2021 due to a series of injuries and off-field incidents.
Team officials have not provided specific details about the nature of Mixon’s current condition, but his placement on the NFI list suggests that medical staff are still evaluating his readiness to return to full game action. This uncertainty has led to speculation about whether Mixon will be available for the start of the regular season, with some analysts questioning his ability to maintain his previous level of performance.
Fans of the Texans are also concerned about the impact Mixon’s status could have on the team’s offensive strategy. His absence could force the coaching staff to adjust their game plans, potentially affecting the performance of other players in the backfield. As training camp progresses, the focus will remain on determining when Mixon will be cleared to participate in team activities and whether he will be ready for the season opener.
