The Texans will have one more player with a C on their chest this year.
Houston announced running back Joe Mixon will be a captain for the rest of 2024 on Friday.
Mixon has rushed for 609 yards with six touchdowns and caught 14 passes for 115 yards with a touchdown in six games this season. He’s been over 100 yards rushing in five of the six games he’s played and scored a touchdown in each game he’s finished.
Mixon effectively takes the spot of Stefon Diggs as captain, as the receiver is out for the season with a torn ACL.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud, left tackle Laremy Tunsil, defensive end Will Anderson, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, safety Jimmie Ward, and long snapper Jon Weeks are Houston’s other captains in 2024.
