Joe Mixon Checks out fine Monday

Mixon suffered a minor ankle injury during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins but checked out fine Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. "Yeah, Joe came out fine," Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said.

The injury occurred during the second quarter, but Mixon was able to finish the game, although his 32 snaps were the lowest since he returned from an earlier ankle injury Week 6. The Texans feel Miami's Jordyn Brooks should have been flagged for an illegal hip-drop tackle, which is similar to the one that got Mixon injured in Week 2 against the Bears. Officials did not flag the defender for a penalty on either play; however, Chicago's T.J. Edwards was fined for the tackle under a new NFL rule outlawing a tackling technique that has caused a high frequency of injuries. Mixon's status should be monitored during the preparation week leading into Saturday's game at Kansas City.
