Tracking all the moves the Texans make ahead of the NFL's cut deadline Tuesday afternoon. The first is Joe Mixon to the non-football-injury list.

Joe Mixon, the Houston Texans' top rusher last season, will miss the first four games due to a non-football injury. The team will depend on Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce, rookie Woody Marks, and Dare Ogunbowale to uphold their rushing strategy in Mixon's absence.

Now, that's certainly an eye-catching comment coming from Ryans when factoring in the pending status of Mixon. The Texans' veteran runner was far and away the lead man in Houston's backfield last year, handling a staggering 245 carries, 200+ more carries than the next closest backs in Dameon Pierce and Cam Akers, who each logged 40 apiece.
