Joe Mixon

NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports Joe Mixon (ankle and foot) will be ready “at some point during training camp,” though participating on the first day remains possible.

This is slightly new wording on Mixon’s injury. It was previously said that he should be “ready for training camp.” Wilson also adds that Mixon “aggravated” the “foot and ankle” injuries he dealt with last year. Only an ankle-related issue had been mentioned earlier this month and it was initially thought to be an isolated event, unrelated to past issues. As long as Mixon does indeed return during training camp, he should have ample time to ramp up for light work in preseason play and Wilson did say that Mixon is “moving well now” in his “protective brace.” There is no reason to panic, but following Mixon’s rehab closely is worthwhile.
