Stan Norfleet and Chris Gordy of Next Up react to running back Joe Mixon missing multiple practices at training camp for the Houston Texans. Mixon's reasons for his absence have not been disclosed; however, head coach DeMeco Ryans says Mixon "will be fine" and he is "not worried."
The Texans signed free agent running back Cam Akers on Monday. Akers played for the Minnesota Vikings last season before suffering a torn Achilles tendon.
Did the Texans sign Akers as insurance for a possible Mixon injury?
Stan and Chris also discuss rookie cornerback Kamari Lassiter practicing with the first-team defense and defensive end Will Anderson Jr. bulking up his physique.
