Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that he believes running back Joe Mixon was 'definitely' injured Sunday by the now-banned hip-drop tackle.
Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans wanted to wait and see the film before judging the controversial tackle that left star running back Joe Mixon injured in Sunday’s victory over the Chicago Bears. His take on Monday? It was the banned hip-drop tackle. Mixon was injured during the third quarter of Sunday’s victory after Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards brought him down by what many called an illegal tackle.
'You see why they want to get the hip-drop tackle out of the game because it causes a lot of injuries when it happens. The hip-drop tackle doesn't happen much, but the percentage of injury when it does happen is very high, and you saw that there with Joe and his ankle and the defender landing on his ankle.
