Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon is starting training camp on the non-football injury list.
Mixon, a Pro Bowler last season in his first year with the Texans, didn’t practice during OTAs and minicamp because of an ankle injury.
The ankle hasn’t healed to the point where Mixon can fully go. The non-football injury (NFI) designation indicates that Mixon suffered the injury outside of the Texans’ facility.
Mixon, who turns 28 on Thursday, rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2024.
