Mixon, who spent his first seven seasons with Cincinnati, had a great game in his debut with the Texans in Week 1, running for 159 yards and a touchdown to win AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. Houston will also be missing backup running back Dameon Pierce for a second straight game, leaving third-stringer Cam Akers as the starter. Akers played for the Vikings last year before sustaining a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in November.
Akers had seven carries for 32 yards and lost a fumble in the red zone in Houston’s win over the Bears. The team also announced Saturday that offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson also wouldn’t travel to Minnesota because of a calf injury.
