Joe Mixon

Joe Mixon (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryan called Mixon “week-to-week” on Monday. He noted that Mixon was improving, but a DNP today suggests the veteran running back is unlikely to make his return in Week 6. Dare Ogunbowale led the backfield in attempts last week, out-carrying Cam Akers 15-9. With Dameon Pierce possibly returning this week, the Houston backfield may be too messy to extract fantasy value from right now.
