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.

Tyjae Spears News

Tyjae Spears Officially Questionable for Road Outing

Friday, October 2, 10:52 PM

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Spears started the week as a non-participant but upgraded to limited, then to a full session on Friday. The Louisiana native has dealt with an ankle injury for a few weeks, though it didn't affect his ability to play in the team's Week 3 loss to the Giants. That said, it was Spears' least efficient game of the year thus far. Head coach Robert Saleh didn't seem concerned about the back's status earlier in the week, and a full practice to end the week should signal he has a good chance to suit up. If he does, the Tulane product is nothing more than a desperation long shot against the Ravens in fantasy.
