Joe Mixon News
Thursday, July 23, 6:42 AM
Joe Mixon's NFL career has come to an end, according to Texans beat reporter Aaron Wilson. With teams around the league reconvening for the start of training camps, some of the still-unsigned veteran free agents could soon be presented with opportunities to find a new home, but Mixon has reportedly informed former teammates that he has taken his last professional snap. After a successful first season with the Texans, Mixon sustained a curious foot injury in the 2025 offseason that cost him the entire season and led to his release in March. Very few details have since emerged about the ailment that was first speculated to be related to the ankle injury that caused him to miss time in 2024 but was officially designated a non-football injury. Thursday's report brings closure to what has been one of the stranger stories in the NFL over the past year-plus.

Ashton Jeanty News
Sunday, September 13, 4:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had 23 carries for 102 rushing yards and added six receptions for 45 yards and two receiving touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 win against the visiting Miami Dolphins. The second-year back from Boise State was quarterback Kirk Cousins' preferred target in Week 1, and he hauled in all six of his targets in the home-opening victory. Jeanty was a workhorse in 2025, logging 266 carries for 975 yards and five touchdowns in his rookie campaign, and he is expected to keep shouldering a heavy workload early in the 2026 season. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak will likely lean on Jeanty again in Week 2 against the host Los Angeles Chargers, who ranked fifth in the league against the pass last season but were inconsistent against the run. Jeanty remains a high-end RB2 for fantasy managers as the Raiders hit the road to face the Bolts.
