Joe Mixon

Texans declared RB Joe Mixon, WR Tank Dell, RB Dameon Pierce, LB Jamal Hill, G Nick Broeker, and S Jimmie Ward inactive for Week 4 against the Jaguars.

Mixon was a game-time decision but didn’t make it after getting a limited practice in on Friday. He should be in play for Week 5. Dell misses his first game with rib bruising. Cam Akers and Stefon Diggs should absorb most of the extra volume from these two sitting. Dameon Pierce misses his third-straight game with a hamstring injury and has not practiced since the Thursday leading up to Week 2.
