Cam Akers Injury News
View AllAaron Jones Set to Miss at Least Four Games
The Vikings are placing RB Aaron Jones on IR for the hamstring injury that knocked him out of Sunday night's loss to the Falcons. That means Jones will miss at least the next four games. That's particularly notable because the four games span across the Week 5 bye. The team was also already missing RB Ty Chandler (on IR with a knee injury).
Joe Mixon's Ankle Injury "Not Long Term"
Texans insider Aaron Wilson reports that RB Joe Mixon's ankle injury is "not considered long term or serious." Mixon briefly returned to Sunday night's game vs. the Bears after spraining the ankle but eventually gave way again to RB Cam Akers. It sounds like Mixon won't miss a ton of time, but his status for Week 3's meeting with the Vikings is uncertain. Wilson also reports that RB Dameon Pierce is "making fast progress" from his hamstring injury. If neither guy is available this weekend, Akers would be in for a significant workload. Houston also has RB Dare Ogunbowale on the active roster, but he's a passing-down specialist.
Joe Mixon Hurts Right Ankle
Texans RB Joe Mixon's right ankle got rolled up on in the third quarter of Sunday night's game vs. the Bears. He hobbled off the field and headed into the medical tent. We'll update Mixon's status when we know more. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is inactive tonight, leaving the backfield to Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale.
Update: Mixon is officially questionable to return.
Update: Mixon returned later in the third quarter.
