According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Texans running back Joe Mixon will miss "an extended period of time" while dealing with a foot injury. Mixon had already been on the Texans' non-football injury list to start training camp, but Saturday's report added clarity to a potential timeline for the running back's return.

A lingering ankle issue will sideline Houston Texans star Joe Mixon for most of the preseason. The running back will undergo further evaluation before the regular season kicks off.
