HOUSTON -- Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans, having reviewed film of the play, said Monday he believes running back Joe Mixon's ankle injury Sunday night was caused by Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards using the now-banned hip-drop tackle.

Edwards was not penalized for the tackle, which occurred early in the third quarter of Houston's 19-13 win over Chicago. Mixon left the game to get treatment on the ankle and returned late in the third quarter, but played only seven snaps the rest of the way.
