Texans' Joe Mixon: Another touchdown in loss
Joe Mixon rushed 24 times for 106 yards and a touchdown in the Houston Texans' 21-13 loss to the Jets on Thursday night. He also threw an incomplete pass on his only attempt.The Texans' passing game struggled throughout most of the night, with C.J. Stroud taking eight sacks and 11 hits overall. However, Mixon continued to produce to his typically high standard, recording his fourth consecutive 100-yard tally and his fifth rushing touchdown (sixth overall) in the last four games on a three-yard run late in the second quarter. The veteran back did go without a target for the first time all season, but Mixon boasts as reliable a floor at his position as there is in the league heading into a Week 10 Sunday night showdown against the Lions on Nov. 10.

Texans' Joe Mixon: Another robust workload Sunday
Joe Mixon rushed 25 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and secured four of six targets for 32 yards in the Houston Texans' 23-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.Another week, another true workhorse role for Mixon, who once again made good use of his opportunities by eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the third straight game and fourth time overall on the season. Mixon also extended his streak of games with at least one rushing touchdown to three via a 14-yard run early in the second quarter, and all three components of his receiving line were season highs as well. Mixon continues to profile as an elite fantasy asset at his position heading into a Week 9 road Halloween showdown against the Jets on Thursday night.

Texans' Joe Mixon: Scores twice in narrow defeat
Joe Mixon rushed 25 times for 115 yards and two touchdowns while catching two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.Mixon carried Houston's offense while C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards. The veteran running back ran in touchdowns of two and four yards in the second quarter, with the second score capping a drive that also featured a 32-yard Mixon burst on the ground. Mixon has been terrific when healthy, and he'll have a nice opportunity to keep rolling in Week 8 against a Colts defense that he ravaged for 159 rushing yards and a touchdown in the season opener.

Texans' Joe Mixon: Cleared to face Packers
Joe Mixon (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.Mixon was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday before being deemed a full participant Friday, which paves the way for him to continue to lead Houston's backfield this weekend. In the running back's return from a three-game absence in last week's 41-21 win over the Patriots, Mixon carried 13 times for 102 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 30 yards and another score on three targets. Now that he's further removed from the ankle injury that previously sidelined him, it's plausible that Mixon could see more touches Week 7, with Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale available to handle complementary work versus Green Bay.

Texans' Joe Mixon: Still limited at practice
Joe Mixon (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.Mixon logged 13 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 30 yards and another score on three targets in his return from a three-game absence in this past Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots. Given that there's been no reported setbacks with his ankle since then, the running back's Week 7 status doesn't appear to be in danger, but Mixon will probably need to practice fully Friday in order to approach this weekend's game against the Packers without an injury designation.

Texans' Joe Mixon: Scores twice in return from injury
Joe Mixon (ankle) rushed 13 times for 102 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 30 yards and a touchdown on three targets in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.Mixon got two carries from inside the five-yard line on the opening drive but showed some rust in his return from a three-game absence, combining for minus-1 yard on those two attempts. He made no mistake with another red-zone opportunity on the next drive, scoring a 10-yard receiving touchdown to give the Houston Texans a 14-0 lead. Mixon later broke off a 59-yard run in the second quarter and put the game away with a 20-yard touchdown run in the fourth. In the two games he has played from start to finish this season, Mixon has produced a sensational 310 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. His ankle injury seems to be firmly in the rearview mirror heading into a Week 7 road game against the Packers.

Texans' Joe Mixon: Active versus Patriots
Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.After logging back-to-back limited practices Thursday and Friday, Mixon -- who is bouncing back from what Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston previously described as a less severe high-ankle sprain -- was listed as questionable for the contest. With his return from a three-game absence confirmed, Mixon should have an opportunity to reclaim his lead role in Houston's backfield versus New England, but if he's limited at all or suffers any in-game setbacks, Dameon Pierce (who is also in the mix after missing four games), as well as Dare Ogunbowale and Cam Akers are available to contribute to the Houston Texans' Week 6 rushing game.

Texans' Joe Mixon: In line to return Sunday
Joe Mixon (ankle) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against New England, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The veteran running back hasn't played since Week 2, when he suffered an ankle sprain against the Bears. However, after turning in a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday, Mixon looks to be trending toward a return to the lineup Sunday, though his workload could be monitored more carefully than usual. Backfield mate Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has also been cleared to play Sunday following a four-game absence, so Cam Akers -- who had been getting a healthy workload while Mixon was out -- will likely slide back to a limited role as the No. 2 or 3 option on the depth chart.

Texans' Joe Mixon: Still trending toward playing
Joe Mixon (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is still on track to play, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston echoed the same sentiment Friday, but it's good to see that the star running back hasn't suffered any setbacks coming out of the Houston Texans' final practice of the week as he sets his sights on a return to the lineup following a three-game absence. Dameon Pierce -- who doesn't have an injury designation after missing the last four games with a hamstring issue -- along with Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale will be on hand as depth options behind Mixon, who will presumably start and see the bulk of the carries if he's active Sunday.
