Joe Mixon has made it clear: his sights are firmly set on returning for the 2026 NFL season after a frustrating year lost to injury.

The veteran running back, who missed all of last season with a lingering foot issue, recently signaled his intent with a pointed message on social media: “All 26’. Vengeance.”

The post, shared on his Instagram story, featured Mixon alongside Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud following a win, immediately sparking speculation about his future in Houston.

The biggest question now is whether that comeback will come in a Texans uniform.

As Houston prepares for the 2026 season, Mixon’s message is unmistakable: he believes his story isn’t finished, and he’s determined to remind the league of the player he still knows he can be.
