Joe Mixon’s time in Houston appears to be nearing its end. As of late February, the Texans are widely expected to part ways with the veteran running back via a failed physical designation, a move that would clear $8.

A message on social media says Joe Mixon screwed up his foot on vacation and he got surgery without the Texans' knowledge.

It's not looking too good for Joe Mixon's future with the Houston Texans.

Meanwhile, the Texans are expected to explore the high-end running back market that includes Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl MVP selection Kenneth Walker III, Jacksonville Jaguars veteran runner Travis Etienne Jr. and Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle, per league sources.

The forgotten man in Houston will likely to continue to be forgotten.

Joe Mixon didn't play last season, due to an off-field injury to his foot.

There's a mystery still brewing around the injury saga of a former Bengals star.

The Texans are rumored to be eyeballing Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III ahead of NFL free agency in March. Will they land the Super Bowl MVP?
