Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon in race against time to make Week 1 with foot injury
The 29-year-old Mixon will miss 'an extended period of time' according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport and has had his foot in a walking boot.
But at present, it is unclear how Mixon hurt himself. He is on the 'non-football injury list' because the issue occured in the offseason and was not sustained through playing the game.
Mixon is expected to be revealuated closer to Week One, where the Texans start the season in Los Angeles against the Rams.
If Mixon is struggling to make the start of the season, it would be another significant loss for the Texans.
Wide receiver Tank Dell is expected to miss the entire campaign after sustaining a serious knee injury against Kansas City Chiefs last season that required multiple surgeries.

Reports: Bucs LB David Walker (ACL) out for season
July 28 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie linebacker David Walker will miss the season with a torn ACL, multiple outlets reported on Monday. The 2025 fourth-round draft pick out of Central Arkansas sustained the knee injury during Friday's practice at training camp. Walker, 25, was projected for a backup role this season behind starting outside linebackers Haason Reddick and Yaya Diaby. Walker earned the Buck Buchanan Award last season as the best defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision. The three-time All-American led the FCS with 23 tackles for loss and tallied 10.5 sacks in 12 games in 2024. --Field Level Media

Report: Cowboys G Rob Jones (neck) out 2-3 months
July 28 - Dallas Cowboys guard Rob Jones will be sidelined 2-3 months after breaking a bone in his neck during practice, ESPN reported Monday. Jones, a candidate for the starting spot at left guard, was hurt late in Sunday's session at training camp in Oxnard, Calif. An MRI and other testing revealed the injury, which will not require surgery, per the report. Jones, 26, signed a one-year deal for $3.7 million in March. He started all 17 games at left guard for Miami last season, bringing his career totals with the Dolphins to 49 games and 30 starts since arriving as an undrafted free agent in 2021. Rookie first-round draft pick Tyler Booker has taken most of the snaps with the first team at left guard so far during training camp. --Field Level Media

Bubba Wallace becomes first black winner of Brickyard 400
Bubba Wallace climbed out of the No 23 car on Sunday, pumped his fists, found his family and savored every precious moment of a historic Brickyard 400 victory. He deserved every minute of it. The 31-year-old Wallace overcame a tenuous 18-minute rain delay, two tantalizing overtimes, fears about running out of fuel late and the hard-charging defending race champ, Kyle Larson, on back-to-back restarts to become the first Black driver to win a major race on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.5-mile oval. No Black driver has won the Indianapolis 500, and Formula One raced on the track's road course. 'This one's really cool,' Wallace said. 'Coming off Turn 4, I knew I was going to get there – unless we ran out of gas. I was surprised I wasn't crying like a little baby.' His third career Nascar Cup victory delivered Wallace's first victory in the series' four crown jewel events, the others being the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600 and Southern 500. It also snapped a 100-race winless streak that dated to 2022 at Kansas and locked up a playoff spot. His only other win came at Talladega in 2021. The final gap was 0.222 seconds, but that was no measure of the consternation he faced. Larson cut a 5.057-second deficit with 14 laps to go to about three seconds with six laps left as the yellow flag came out for the rain. The cars then rolled to a stop on pit lane with four laps remaining, forcing Wallace to think and rethink his restart strategy. 'The whole time I'm thinking are we going? Are we not?' he said. 'I will say I leaned more towards 'I know we're going to go back racing. Be ready. Don't get complacent here.' Wallace made sure of it. He beat Larson through the second turn on the first restart only to have a crash behind him force a second overtime, forcing his crew to recalculate whether they had enough fuel to finish the race or whether he needed to surrender the lead and refuel. In Wallace's mind, there was no choice. 'The first thing that went through my mind was, 'Here we go again,'' he said. 'But then I said, 'I want to win this straight up. I want to go back racing.' Here we are.' He beat Larson off the restart again and pulled away, preventing Larson from becoming the race's fourth back-to-back winner. The victory also alleviated the frustration Wallace felt Saturday when he spent most of the qualifying session on the provisional pole only to see Chase Briscoe claim the No 1 starting spot with one of the last runs in the session. On Sunday, he made sure there was no repeat, providing an added boost to the 23XI Racing team co-owned by basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan and last week's race winner, Denny Hamlin, as they continue to battle Nascar in court over its charter status. 'Those last 20 laps there were ups and downs and I was telling myself 'You won't be able to do it,'' Wallace said. 'Once I'd seen it was Larson, I knew he won here last year and he's arguably the best in the field. So to beat the best, we had to be the best today.'
