Texans general manager Nick Caserio said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that Mixon (foot/ankle) had surgery this offseason, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Mixon missed the entire 2025 season due to a foot/ankle injury that Caserio said in January was a "freak thing" and "as unique a situation" as he has dealt with. Though the running back has one year left on his contract, his status with the team remains uncertain. Caserio also said in January that the Texans' medical staff will need to evaluate Mixon before determining whether he will be able to play in 2026. The news of Mixon undergoing a new offseason procedure adds a further wrinkle to the situation, though Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports that the team would like to have Mixon back if he's healthy. Across 14 regular-season appearances with Houston in 2024, Mixon gained 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns on 245 carries while adding a 36-309-1 line through the air.

Pittsburgh general manager Omar Khan said Tuesday that the team has been in communication with Gainwell, an impending free agent, about a new contract, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Gainwell earned internal team MVP honors after playing 2025 on a one-year deal and totaling a career-best 537 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 147 carries while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. He added a career-high 73 catches for 486 yards on 85 targets and another three scores through the air. Given the versatility and efficiency Gainwell demonstrated, it will be no surprise if Pittsburgh prioritizes inking him to an extension before he hits free agency. Jaylen Warren remains under contract through 2027, but the Steelers could release him this offseason with a minimal dead cap hit of about $4 million.

The Patriots released Gibson (knee) on Monday.

Gibson is still rehabbing a torn ACL, which he suffered in Week 5 of this past season. Prior to the injury, he rushed 25 times for 106 yards and one touchdown, while adding two catches for six yards on three targets. Gibson will turn 28 years old in June and has appeared in 83 career regular-season contests. In addition to his offensive duties, Gibson is also an experienced return man.

Harris has progressed to running at 15 mph on a treadmill in his recovery from a torn Achilles, agent Doug Hendrickson announced Monday on X.

In a video posted by Hendrickson, Harris is shown running with relative ease five months after suffering the injury that ended his 2025 season back in Week 3. Harris played last season on a one-year, $5.25 million deal, so he's again set to become a free agent next month. Prior to 2025, Harris had never missed a single at the NFL level. He turns 28 years old in two weeks.

Williams (shoulder) and the Cowboys agreed to terms on a three-year, $24 million contract Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The new deal includes $16 million in guaranteed money and ensures that Williams doesn't enter the new league year as an unrestricted free agent. The North Carolina product inked a one-year deal with the Cowboys in March of 2025 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Broncos, and he enjoyed a breakout season in his first year with Dallas, when he turned 252 carries into 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns while catching 35 passes (on 51 targets) for 137 yards and two scores over 16 regular-season games. The deal solidifies Williams as the Cowboys' RB1 while Malik Davis (eye) and 2025 fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue both operate in rotational roles.

Charbonnet posted on social media that he underwent surgery to repair his torn ACL on Friday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Charbonnet suffered the ACL tear during Seattle's victory over San Francisco in the NFC divisional round. While Smith notes that it's not uncommon for a player to have surgery several weeks after the occurrence of an ACL injury, he also posits that the timing figures to push Charbonnet's recovery timeline further into the 2026 season. At this point, a definitive timeframe for the running back's return to game action hasn't been announced, but it's certainly possible that Charbonnet will miss a significant portion of the upcoming campaign.

Milton signed a one-year deal with the Bengals on Friday, the team's official site reports.

Milton, who spent the majority of the past two seasons on Cincinnati's practice squad, will thus have an opportunity to compete for a depth slot in the team's backfield ahead of the 2026 campaign. In his only regular-season appearance in 2025, Milton, who played his college ball at Georgia, logged two carries for two yards.

The Seahawks are not expected to extend the franchise tag to Walker, who will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Seattle will have a number of tough roster decisions following the team's Super Bowl LX victory, with a contract extension for Jaxon Smith-Njigba likely being the top priority. Walker played a full 17 regular-season games for the first time in his career in 2025, rushing 221 times for 1,027 yards and five scores while securing 31 of 36 targets for 282 receiving yards. He was even more dominant during the postseason, culminating in Super Bowl MVP honors after he rushed for 135 yards versus the Patriots, adding two catches for 26 yards. The franchise tag would lock him into a 2026 salary of $14.5 million, however, which could be more than Seattle can afford. While the Seahawks could still attempt to sign Walker to an extension, it may be difficult for the team to compete with the offers the 25-year-old running back projects to receive on the open market. Seattle still also has Zach Charbonnet (knee) under contract, though after having suffered an ACL tear in the divisional round his availability for Week 1 is uncertain at best.

Jacksonville re-signed Dallas on Monday.

Dallas appeared in six total regular-season games between Carolina and Jacksonville in 2025, in which span he rushed twice for 21 yards and failed to secure his only target. He also logged 12 kickoff returns for 321 yards. Dallas ended the 2025 campaign on the Jaguars' roster but he was made a healthy scratch for the team's sole postseason contest, a wild-card round loss to the Bills. If the Jaguars opt to let Travis Etienne depart as a free agent this offseason, Dallas could find himself competing for an interesting depth role.

White (undisclosed) signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

The running back was placed on the practice squad injured list in September and ended the season there, too. Wright did appear in one September game before the injury, playing on five offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps while recording five carries for 20 yards.
