Joe Mixon Tells Former Teammates His Career is Over

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.

Bijan Robinson News

Bijan Robinson Accounts for 173 Total Yards and a Score in Week 1

Monday, September 14, 6:59 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson picked up where he left off last season, getting heavily involved in both the run and the pass game in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Steelers. The 5-foot-11 superstar gained 83 yards on 21 carries (4.0 YPC) while adding another 90 receiving yards on a team-high 10 targets and eight receptions; no other receiver had more than four targets or more than two catches. The former first-rounder recorded the team's only score of the day as well, which came on a quick swing pass behind the line of scrimmage that he was able to take 23 yards to the end zone. The Falcons will take on the Panthers in Week 2, a team that was trampled by the Bears in Week 1, so expect more of the same from the 24-year-old, who will again be at or near the top of the running back ranks next week regardless of who is under center for Atlanta.
