Joe Mixon will miss the first four games of the Houston Texans' season as his offseason ankle injury continued to hold him back before the 2025 NFL season.

Now, that's certainly an eye-catching comment coming from Ryans when factoring in the pending status of Mixon. The Texans' veteran runner was far and away the lead man in Houston's backfield last year, handling a staggering 245 carries, 200+ more carries than the next closest backs in Dameon Pierce and Cam Akers, who each logged 40 apiece.
