Joe Mixon Headshot

Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He didn't practice all week and isn't a lock to be back for Week 4. With RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also out, Houston elevated RB J.J. Taylor from the practice squad. RB Cam Akers figures to operate as the lead back against Minnesota, but we're projecting RB Dare Ogunbowale to play plenty on passing downs. See where Akers lands in the Week 3 RB Rankings.
