Running back Joe Mixon has been a workhorse for the Hosuston Texans’ offense, but is listed on the team’s injury report ahead of its divisional round playoff matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, January 18. Could the Texans be without their leading running back this weekend?

Houston linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), right guard Shaq Mason (knee), offensive lineman Juice Scruggs (ankle) and wide receiver Robert Woods (hip) also were active. Woods did not practice all week and had been listed as questionable.

In last week’s wild-card round win over the Los Angeles Chargers, Mixon became the first running back since Arian Foster in 2012 to rush for 100 yards in a playoff game. He finished with 106 yards and scored a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to ice the game.

The NFL referees can make or break the game, and they certainly did that on Saturday and Joe Mixon was not happy about it. In the first quarter of Saturday’s playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Will Anderson got called for a controversial roughing the passer penalty on a sack of Patrick Mahomes. It led to three points.

Mixon has proven himself as a reliable workhorse in his first season as a Texan, totaling 245 carries, 1,016 yards, and 11 touchdowns. The Pro-Bowl running back has surpassed 100 rushing yards in eight games, including the playoffs, and earned his second Pro Bowl selection in his first year with the team.

Joe Mixon is dealing with an ankle injury entering the AFC Divisional Round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The do-it-all running back for Houston was a late addition to the injury report this week, clouding his status for the weekend matchup in Kansas City. The Texans already have dealt with plenty of issues at the receiver spot this season, only adding more to Mixon's plate.

With the Houston Texans trailing the Kansas City Chiefs 13–6 in the third quarter of Saturday's AFC divisional round playoff game, Houston running back Joe Mixon was on a mission to pull his team even in the biggest game of the season.

The Cincinnati Bengals have been on the receiving end of some heat here and there for the trade that sent Joe Mixon to the Houston Texans. Never mind that the Bengals were ready to move on and trying to do right by Mixon while shipping him to a contender instead of cutting him.

Travis Kelce set a playoff record, caught seven passes for 117 yards and touchdown in Kansas City’s 23-14 win over Houston.
