Mixon (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is expected to be available for the contest barring any setbacks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Back-to-back limited sessions have Mixon trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game. Meanwhile, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle suggests that trainers could make a final determination on Mixon's status at the team's walkthrough Saturday before the team travels to New England. If Mixon is available and not overly limited versus New England, he'd have a chance to reclaim his lead role in a Houston backfield that also includes Dameon Pierce (who doesn't carry an injury designation), Dare Ogunbowale and Cam Akers.
