Bengals Beat Reporter Kelsey Conway discusses the Bengals loss to the Steelers

Former Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was named a Pro Bowler in his first season with the Houston Texans.

Mixon will end up missing his entire second season with the team because of a foot injury, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport added that Mixon likely will remain on the Physically Unable to Perform list through the end of the season.

Mixon played his first seven NFL seasons for the Bengals. Cincinnati traded Mixon to Houston in March 2024 for a 2024 seventh-round draft pick.

In January, CBS analyst and former NFL star J.J. Watt questioned a $25,000 fine for Mixon for criticism of officials.

Sunday Night Football analyst and former Bengals receiver Cris Collinsworth said in Nov. 2024 that Cincinnati’s trade of Mixon gave the running back extra incentive to prove himself this season with his new team.
