Joe Mixon to Miss Second Straight Game

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon will miss his second consecutive game due to a sprained ankle when the team faces the winless Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite practicing for the first time in weeks, Mixon was ultimately listed as inactive after testing his ankle. Additionally, running back Dameon Pierce, wide receiver Tank Dell, safety Jimmie Ward, linebacker Jamal Hill, and guard Nick Broeker are also inactive for the Texans due to various injuries. Cam Akers is set to start in Mixon's absence. Meanwhile, Jacksonville will be missing safety Darnell Savage, tight end Evan Engram, linebacker Devin Lloyd, and others due to injuries.
