Mixon's Mystery Injury, Montgomery's Arrival

0:00On April 1st, Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon sat out the entire 2025 season with a mysterious lower body injury hitting his leg. And foot. He missed all the training camp and never saw the field, leaving fans in the team in the dark about the real cause. Speculation ran wild, with NFL insider Adam Schefter mentioning unconfirmed talk of necrosis in Mixon's foot. That would echo with sideline Antonio Brown back in 2019 with the Raiders, but nothing's been verified officially. Coach Domeco Ryan's hated losing his star back, but the team softened the blow by trading for David Montgomery from Detroit. It gives Houston a solid replacement, ready to carry the load. Montgomery shared a backfield with Jamar Gibbs for three years, rushing for over a thousand yards each of those seasons. Now as the featured guy, he's primed to produce big for the Texans. No fresh updates on Mixon yet, but fingers crossed his recovery keeps moving forward so he can hit the gridiron again if he chooses.
