The Houston Texans are trading for veteran Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon, a source told ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime.
Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Mixon, a second-round draft pick out of Oklahoma in 2017, had been the Cincinnati Bengals' primary running back for the past seven seasons. In 2023, he rushed for 1,034 yards and 9 touchdowns and totaled 1,410 total yards from scrimmage.
The Bengals' rushing attack, however, lacked explosiveness last season. Before Week 18, when Cincinnati was eliminated from playoff contention, the Bengals ranked 27th in the NFL in running back carries that went for 12 or more yards, according to ESPN Stats & Information data.
