JOE MIXON NEWS

Not seen at practice Mixon (ankle) wasn't spotted during the initial stage of Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow RB Dameon Pierce (strained hamstring), though Wilson suggested earlier Wednesday that he may be closer to a return to action than Mixon. In the duo's absence in Week 3, Cam Akers drew the start in the Texans' 34-7 loss to the Vikings, en route to carrying nine times for 21 yards and catching one of his three targets for an eight-yard TD.

SEPTEMBER 21 • USATODAY.COM

Not playing against Minnesota Mixon has been downgraded to out and will not travel to Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

Impact It's a frustrating outcome given Mixon seemed confident following Sunday's win over the Bears that he would play, but also a likely outcome given the star running back was initially ruled doubtful following the team's final injury report Friday. Cam Akers is set to take on the majority of the rushing opportunities with Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also out Sunday, but Dare Ogunbowale will likely be a significant factor as a pass catcher out of the backfield as well.

Doubtful for Sunday Mixon is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings after not practicing this week.

Impact Meanwhile, top backup Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the contest. With Mixon trending toward being unavailable Sunday, Cam Akers appears poised to take on an expanded role in Week 3, a context that makes him a potential fill-in option for those who normally would rely on Mixon in fantasy lineups.

Still not practicing Mixon (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same applies to top backup Dameon Pierce (hamstring), which doesn't bode well for the duo's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. If both players are unavailable this weekend, Cam Akers would be in line to see an expanded role in Week 3.

Not practicing Thursday Mixon (ankle) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle and Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston report.

Impact The same goes for top backup Dameon Pierce (hamstring), with both players also having been 'DNP's on Wednesday. As a result the duo's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings is cloudy, and in the event that both Mixon and Pierce are unavailable this weekend, Cam Akers would be in line to step into an expanded role, according to Wilson.

Not seen at practice Mixon (ankle) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston and DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com report.

Impact Per Wilson, Mixon is day-to-day with his ankle injury and top backup Dameon Pierce is dealing with a mild hamstring strain. The duo's status is thus worth monitoring closely as Sunday's game against the Vikings approaches. Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks are in the mix to see added work this weekend if either Mixon or Pierce are limited or out.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Injury not long-term issue Mixon's ankle injury is not considered to be a long-term issue, per league sources, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Mixon was injured during Sunday's win, returned to the game, but he played just seven snaps upon his return. The running back underwent an MRI on Monday, and head coach DeMeco Ryans was noncommittal on Mixon's status for Week 3 in Minnesota. The Texans feel the tackle that injured Mixon was illegal and are submitting video of the play to the NFL for review. If Mixon's unavailable for Week 3, Cam Akers and/or Dameon Pierce (hamstring) would likely see extra workloads.
