Joe Mixon didn't return to the field Sunday night after suffering a knee injury early in the third quarter of the Houston Texans' 19-13 win over the Chicago Bears. Texans' head coach DeMeco Ryans hopes his star running back will be able to return to the field in Week 3 at the Minnesota Vikings.
Ryans said Wednesday he is "holding out hope" Mixon will take the field for Sunday's Noon CT kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium. Ryans added that Mixon will be monitored each day, though Mixon didn't practice at NRG Stadium on Wednesday.
