Texans running back Joe Mixon spent all of the preseason on the non-football injury list and he was moved to the reserve version of it as the team set its initial 53-man roster this week.
Mixon will miss at least the first four games of the regular season as a result of the move and the Texans have not shared any kind of timeline for his expected return to action from what’s been described as a foot/ankle issue. That did not change at a Wednesday press conference when General Manager Nick Caserio was asked about Mixon’s status.
Caserio said they’ll evaluate Mixon at the end of that four-game window without offering any assurance that Mixon is expected to play at all this season.
“We’ll see, we’ll take it one day at a time,” Caserio said, via Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle .
Nick Chubb is the No. 1 back on the Texans’ depth chart with Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale, and rookie Woody Marks also on hand.
