Joe Mixon Uncertain For 2026

Texans RB Joe Mixon remains uncertain for 2026, GM Nick Caserio said at Wednesday's end-of-season press conference. Caserio didn't give many details on Mixon's foot, calling it a "freak" injury. "It was more of a medical condition or situation that never ... really didn't improve maybe as much as everybody would have hoped," he said. Caserio added that the team isn't exactly sure where Mixon is at in his recovery. "We haven't seen Joe in a little bit, so I think at some point we'll see him and then we'll be able to evaluate kind of where he is and then based on information, we'll see where his status is." This has been and remains a weird situation. We'll keep you updated on Mixon's status throughout the offseason. He has one year but no guaranteed money left on his contract, so he'd be a relatively easy cut. Dynasty managers should not be counting on Mixon in 2026 or beyond. And he's probably best just avoiding in best-ball drafts until we know more about his health.
