The Texans have made an official game decision on running back Joe Mixon.
So far this season, the Houston Texans have looked like one of the better teams throughout the league. They will be getting back a crucial piece to their offensive attack for their Week 6 game against the New England Patriots.Running back Joe Mixon will be active for this contest after missing the last two weeks due to injury. His return should help the Houston offense be a little more dynamic and it will be a welcomed addition to the lineup.
Backup Cam Akers took over as the starter while Mixon was out and he could see some carries too. If anything, having Akers and Mixon split time this week could allow Mixon to not be forced back in full throttle.The last thing that Houston wants is for Mixon to get hurt again or aggravate anything. The Texans have Super Bowl aspirations for this season so making sure that Mixon is fully ready for the stretch run of the season will be crucial.
