Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon sustained an ankle injury after being tackled by Chicago Bears’ linebacker T.J Edwards on Sept. 15, 2024.
The tackle has become a source of controversy — many analysts are stating that Edwards employed a hip drop technique to drag Mixon to the green. Texans fans have been eagerly awaiting an update to Mixon’s condition, as well as any news from the league regarding Edwards’ “hip drop” technique.
Here’s a Joe Mixon injury update.
According to Lone Star Live , the damage done to Mixon’s ankle isn’t going to keep him out of the game for long. Aaron Wilson, NFL analyst for local Houston News station KPRC2 posted on X (formerly Twitter) that both Mixon and other pro ballers are on the mend from in-game physical trauma.
CBS Sports reported that Mixon was lucky to have avoided severe damage to his ankle. Thankfully, an MRI scan was able to put both Mixon and his team’s fears at rest: “[Mixon] left Sunday night’s game with an ankle injury, but escaped a more serious, long-term injury after undergoing an MRI Monday.”
