Bengals Running Back Joe Mixon is expected to miss an extended period due to a frustrating foot injury, according to reports. Mixon’s status will be re-evaluated closer to the start of the season. The injury does not appear to be related to football activities.
Mixon’s absence could provide new opportunities for teammate Nick Chubb, who signed a one-year deal with the Texans recently. With a $7 million base salary in 2025 and $4 million guaranteed, Mixon’s injury status may impact his contract guarantees. If Chubb recovers fully, he could capitalize on his new team’s chances to compete at a high level this season.
