When will Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon return from his injury?
As of the time of writing, Mixon's eventual return date is not clear.
One definitive fact available on a possible return for the veteran running back is that it won't be happening any time in the next three weeks. The Texans placed Mixon on the reserve/non-football injury list in late August, which will keep him off of the team's active roster for the first four weeks of the season.
That makes Mixon eligible to return as soon as Week 5, when the Texans travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens. Given how much time he's missed – he has not practiced this offseason – a return that early may be unlikely, unless he returns to practice in some capacity soon.

For now, details on Mixon's injury and possible return are still murky.

When will Joe Mixon return?
A potential return date for Mixon is unclear.
If he manages to start practicing again (relatively) soon, that could mean a return as soon as Week 5 in Baltimore. Given the Texans have a Week 6 bye, they could also choose to take advantage of an extra week of preparation for Mixon and bring him back for Week 7's game in Seattle.
The veteran Texans running back missed all of the team's offseason workouts, and Houston placed Mixon on the reserve/non-football injury list before the season began. At the very least, that means Mixon will miss the first four games of the regular season.

Joe Mixon – reserve/NFI list
Chubb, whom the Texans signed in free agency early in the offseason, is Houston's lead back to start the season. Pierce, Marks and Ogunbowale combined for a total of eight carries in Week 1, while Chubb finished with 13.
Marks is the most notable name on the depth chart as a rookie fourth-round pick for Houston. He's coming off of a 1,133-yard, nine-touchdown season at Southern California, and the Texans could slowly build up his role in their offense after he tallied just three carries on Sunday.
