The Houston Texans have been hit with a major blow after Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon sustained a foot injury that could see him miss the start of the season.
The 29-year-old Mixon will miss ‘an extended period of time’ according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport and has had his foot in a walking boot.
But at present, it is unclear how Mixon hurt himself. He is on the ‘non-football injury list’ because the issue occured in the offseason and was not sustained through playing the game.
Mixon is expected to be revealuated closer to Week One, where the Texans start the season in Los Angeles against the Rams.

If Mixon is struggling to make the start of the season, it would be another significant loss for the Texans.
Wide receiver Tank Dell is expected to miss the entire campaign after sustaining a serious knee injury against Kansas City Chiefs last season that required multiple surgeries.
