NFL Trade Rumors
Texans GM Nick Caserio said that RB Joe Mixon‘s status is uncertain for next year after suffering a freak accident last offseason that caused him to miss the entire 2025 season.
“We haven’t seen Joe in a little bit, so I think at some point we’ll see him and then we’ll be able to evaluate kind of where he is, and then based on information, we’ll see where his status is,” Caserio said, via ESPN.
The details are still vague, and Caserio didn’t confirm what happened to Mixon, but he confirmed that it wasn’t anything that he did irresponsibly.
“It wasn’t like he was riding a snowmobile or anything like that,” Caserio said. “It was more of a medical condition or situation that never … really didn’t improve maybe as much as everybody would have hoped. I’m not trying to evade the question, that’s the reality of the situation. He didn’t jump off a building. He wasn’t cliff diving or anything. He wasn’t doing anything irresponsible. It was just a freak thing.”
The Texans finished their season with a Divisional Round berth and a 12-5 record in the regular season. On the topic of QB C.J. Stroud, GM Nick Caserio said they need to do a better job of limiting turnovers after the quarterback tossed four interceptions in their playoff loss to the Patriots.
“Every player in the offseason is about improvement. What are some of the things you can do better? C.J. had a really good season,” Caserio said, via TexansWire. *“He’s done a lot of great things. He’s done a lot of great things for his team, a lot of great things for this organization. Any time you pass [Denver Broncos QB] John Elway in terms of what you’ve accomplished in a short period of time, talking about a Hall of Fame quarterback. C.J. played good football this year. It wasn’t our best day as a team when you go back and look at the game from Sunday [the AFC Divisional Round against New England]. You can’t turn the ball over. You look at the Divisional Round, the teams that turn the ball over, they lost the game. Buffalo [Bills] turned the ball over four times. [San Francisco 49ers QB] Brock Purdy and the ‘Niners [San Francisco 49ers] turned it over three times. [Chicago Bears QB] Caleb [Williams] threw three interceptions. In the end, our ball security… I think this was a franchise record for the fewest turnovers. We’ve shown that we can take care of the football. We did a poor job of it in the game the other day and it cost us. We still had an opportunity to win the game despite how poorly we played, which I would say that game was emblematic of the first three games. When you go back and look at it, the first three games of the season, that’s what happened. The reality is, what can we do better individually? As a player you got...
