Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon will miss at least the first four games of the season due to a foot injury, the team announced Monday.
Mixon has been sidelined since July 26. Houston placed him on the reserve/non-football injury list Monday, meaning he can only begin to practice and play after the team’s fourth game of the regular season.
Mixon led Houston with 1,016 rushing yards (4.1 per carry) and 11 touchdown runs in 14 games last year, helping the club win the AFC South in his first year in town.
