The Houston Texans face a significant setback as running back Joe Mixon will miss their Week 3 game against the Minnesota Vikings due to an ankle injury from an illegal tackle.

The tackle, executed by T.J. Edwards of the Chicago Bears, was not penalized during the game, but resulted in a fine for Edwards and two other players. The NFL is facing scrutiny over its handling of illegal tackles and player safety, as Mixon expressed his frustration on social media regarding the enforcement of new rules.
