Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon returned to practice after missing five sessions due to an ankle injury. His availability for the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars remains uncertain.

Last week, Mixon missed the game against the Minnesota Vikings, where the Texans struggled with their rushing game, gaining only 38 yards. If Mixon is unable to play, Cam Akers is expected to start again.

Wide receiver Nico Collins practiced on Friday, indicating a potential return, while Tank Dell and Dameon Pierce did not participate, likely sidelining them for the game.
