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.

Tyler Allgeier Opens Atop Cardinals' Initial Depth Chart

Sunday, August 2, 10:12 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier sits atop the team's first unofficial depth chart, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. The listing lines up with early camp practices, where Allgeier has often worked ahead of rookie Jeremiyah Love. Arizona signed the former Atlanta Falcon to a two-year, $12.25 million contract in March, then selected Love third overall in April. Allgeier rushed 143 times for 514 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns last season, and he has averaged 4.3 yards per carry across four NFL seasons. The Cardinals also have James Conner and Trey Benson in a deep backfield, so the RB1 label does not guarantee Allgeier will lead the group in touches once the season begins. Still, the early placement suggests he has a real chance to open the year with a meaningful role while Love gets up to speed. Allgeier's limited receiving history could make his fantasy production dependent on carries and goal-line opportunities, but he remains firmly involved in Arizona's plans.
