Report: Texans RB Joe Mixon (foot) out multiple weeks

July 26 - Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon is expected to miss multiple weeks of training camp due to a foot injury, NFL Network reported Saturday. He will be re-evaluated later this summer to see if he'll be ready for the Sept. 7 season opener against the host Los Angeles Rams, per the report. Mixon, who was placed on the non-football injury list Wednesday, has a $7 million base salary in 2025 -- $4 million of which is guaranteed. A Pro Bowl selection during his first season in Houston, Mixon rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 games (all starts) in 2024. Mixon, 29, has rushed for 7,428 yards and 60 touchdowns in 111 career games (102 starts) with the Cincinnati Bengals (2017-23) and Texans. He earned his second Pro Bowl selection in 2024. Houston's backfield also includes offseason additions Nick Chubb, Dare Ogunbowale and rookie Woody Marks, among others. Marks was selected by Houston in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Southern California. Fellow running backs Dameon Pierce and J.J. Taylor also are on the physically unable to perform list. --Field Level Media

Giants' pitching staff dwindles as Landen Roupp hits IL

July 26 - The San Francisco Giants' rotation took another hit when right-hander Landen Roupp landed on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation. The move announced Friday is retroactive to Wednesday for Roupp, whose MRI exam showed no structural issues, according to The Athletic. The Giants are down to three regular starters with All-Stars Logan Webb and Robbie Ray and future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander. "In flux," manager Bob Melvin said of his rotation. "Probably Tuesday we'll have to make a move. ... We have to be prepared for anything." Roupp, 26, is 7-6 with a 3.11 ERA through 20 starts. He allowed four hits and struck out six in five scoreless innings in a 9-0 victory at Atlanta on Tuesday. In a corresponding move Friday, San Francisco recalled right-hander Tristan Beck from Triple-A Sacramento. Beck, 29, is 1-0 with a 5.14 ERA in 11 games (no starts) this season for the Giants. --Field Level Media
