Texans RBs Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Mixon's injury reportedly isn't serious, but he shouldn't be considered a lock to play vs. the Vikings this weekend. "We’ll take it day-by-day with Joe and his injury and see where he ends up at the week," HC Demeco Ryan said. "Still holding out hope that he can make it.” If Mixon and Pierce both miss Sunday's game, RB Cam Akers would slide in as Houston's early-down back, with RB Dare Ogunbowale playing some passing downs.
