Joe Mixon remains one of the most interesting Cincinnati Bengals players right now.

According to Texans general manager Nick Caserio, Mixon had surgery on his foot at the end of the year.
Around the same time, KPRC 2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson reported that the Texans are expected to release Mixon this offseason.
