The Houston Texans are preparing to face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3, but star running back Joe Mixon is likely to miss the game due to an ankle injury, impacting their offensive strategy. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are dealing with significant injuries ahead of their matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, with All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb and cornerback Trevon Diggs missing practice due to ankle and foot injuries, respectively. Additionally, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips has been placed on injured reserve due to a wrist injury, further straining their defense. Both teams are looking for a much-needed win, as the Cowboys aim to bounce back from a heavy loss to the Saints, and the Ravens seek their first win of the season after two losses. Former Oklahoma State linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga, now with the Bears, is also sidelined with a concussion, complicating the Bears' efforts in their game against the Texans. Injury updates highlight the challenges teams face as they navigate through the early part of the NFL season.
