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.

Jaylen Wright News

Jaylen Wright is Considered Day-to-Day

Monday, September 21, 6:27 PM

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (neck) is considered day-to-day after suffering an injury during Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, per David Furones. Wright was forced to exit Sunday's contest after sustaining a neck injury. It remains to be seen if Wright will be healthy enough to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3. Wright hasn't been fantasy relevant during the first two games, but he would have an expanded role if De'Von Achane ever misses time. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Wednesday when the first practice of the week begins.
