Houston cuts a productive former starter due to injury, a prudent but disappointing roster decision. Multiple outlets confirm Mixon missed the entire 2025 season with a foot injury. The injury preventing any 2025 contribution signals durability concerns going forward. Fans debate whether Houston should have retained him for 2026 upside. Texans must now address RB depth through draft or free agency quickly.
