Houston Texans star running back Joe Mixon finally returned to practice on Thursday but his status for Week 6 remains uncertain. He will need to show that he can be full go for the game this weekend against the New England Patriots.
Mixon has been out since suffering an injury in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears. He has missed the past three weeks and the Texans offense hasn’t looked the same without him in the backfield.
