Texans Likely to Part Ways with Joe Mixon Amid Foot Injury, Cap Savings

Signs strongly indicate the Houston Texans are likely to part ways with RB Joe Mixon, who is recovering from a foot injury that sidelined him for the entire 2025 season and reportedly required surgery. GM Nick Caserio described Mixon's status as 'a moving target,' awaiting his prognosis for the upcoming season. Reports suggest the Texans expect to release him via a failed physical, a move that would save the team $8.5 million in cap space. Mixon's future with the team appears increasingly dim.
