This move comes after Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported Mixon was sidelined in the spring because of an ankle injury. While he is on the non-football injury list to start training camp, Wilson noted his outlook was generally positive.

While the Houston Texans are back at training camp, one prominent player is expected to miss the beginning of practice.

Running back Joe Mixon has been placed on the non-football injury list. The team will also be without Dameon Pierce and J.J. Taylor in the backfield to start camp as both of them have landed on the physically unable to perform list.
