Joe Mixon

NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson reports Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) and RB Dameon Pierce (undisclosed injury) are expected to be ready for training camp.

Wilson says Mixon has successfully graduated from his walking boot and now sports a small, precautionary brace. Details on Pierce’s injury are unavailable. While both players are expected to return by July 18, the team’s pursuit of Nick Chubb makes sense. Wilson previously reported that Mixon’s current ankle injury is unrelated to the two ankle injuries he suffered last season.
