Joe Mixon had a huge Wild Card playoff game for the Houston Texans against the Los Angeles Chargers — he ran for 106 yards and touchdown on 25 carries. But an ankle injury popped up this week, with reports that he practiced a bit on Wednesday and wasn’t on the field for Thursday’s walkthrough, per Texans Wire.

Texans running back Joe Mixon is dealing with an ankle injury heading into Saturday’s contest against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Running back Joe Mixon was added to the injury report on Thursday with an ankle injury that kept him from practicing on Friday, but it doesn't look like the team will have to make plans for life without him against the Chiefs.
