There remains no timetable for the return of Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot), and there continue to be rumblings that he could miss the entire 2025 season. General manager Nick Caserio wouldn't say one way or another earlier this month whether he thought the 29-year-old RB would come off the Non-Football Injury list to join the active roster this year. The Texans should have more clarity on Mixon's health in another couple of weeks, but until then, fantasy managers stashing him in an Injured Reserve spot must stay patient. He was put on the NFI list before the start of training camp after injuring his ankle/foot during a workout in the spring. Although nothing is concrete yet, it's looking more likely that Mixon isn't going to be able to contribute in fantasy lineups in 2025. If that's the case, it will mean more opportunities for Nick Chubb and rookie Woody Marks the rest of the way.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is still on the team's injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday as he works his way through a calf injury, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs was under the weather last week and then popped up with a calf injury that made him questionable to play in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old ultimately was cleared to play and scored two touchdowns on the ground for the third straight week. However, he did play a season-low 55% of the offensive snaps and was inefficient with his 14 total touches, accounting for 58 scrimmage yards. Jacobs should be able to play on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8 unless he suffers a setback with his calf later this week. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting another two-touchdown performance, but Jacobs is a no-doubt, must-start fantasy RB in Green Bay as long as he's active.
