Joe Mixon's Ankle Injury "Not Long Term"

Joe Mixon's Ankle Injury "Not Long Term"

Texans insider Aaron Wilson reports that RB Joe Mixon's ankle injury is "not considered long term or serious." Mixon briefly returned to Sunday night's game vs. the Bears after spraining the ankle but eventually gave way again to RB Cam Akers. It sounds like Mixon won't miss a ton of time, but his status for Week 3's meeting with the Vikings is uncertain. Wilson also reports that RB Dameon Pierce is "making fast progress" from his hamstring injury. If neither guy is available this weekend, Akers would be in for a significant workload. Houston also has RB Dare Ogunbowale on the active roster, but he's a passing-down specialist.

Texans RB Joe Mixon's right ankle got rolled up on in the third quarter of Sunday night's game vs. the Bears. He hobbled off the field and headed into the medical tent. We'll update Mixon's status when we know more. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is inactive tonight, leaving the backfield to Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale.

Update: Mixon is officially questionable to return.

Update: Mixon returned later in the third quarter.

The Vikings fear a torn Achilles for RB Cam Akers, HC Kevin O'Connell said after Sunday's win over the Falcons. This would be Akers' left Achilles. He tore his right Achilles in July 2021, eventually making it back in January 2022. This latest injury would end Akers' 2023 campaign, leaving Minnesota's backfield to Alexander Mattison and Ty Chandler. We should get confirmation on the injury on Monday.

Update: The Monday MRi confirmed the injury. Unfortunately, this makes Akers droppable across fantasy formats, including dynasty.
