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.

Disappointing Week For Texans RB David Montgomery

Sunday, September 27, 6:00 PM

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery had a forgettable day on Sunday against Indianapolis, rushing 11 times for 33 yards and catching both of his targets for another 15 yards in his team's 19-17 defeat. Most notably, the Texans opted for fellow running back Woody Marks on the goal line late in the fourth quarter, and Marks went on to score Houston's only rushing touchdown of the day. Montgomery led the team in rushing, but that isn't saying much on a day when the Texans gained only 223 yards of total offense and lost their third straight to start the season. Montgomery now has 43 rushing yards in his past two games combined. He and the Texans' struggling offensive line will take on Dallas next week.
