Mixon practices, questions NFL’s safety policies

DJ Bien-Aime covers the Houston Texans for ESPN and hosts the show “Talkin’ Texans” on ESPN Radio. Texans running back Joe Mixon recently criticized the NFL’s priorities on player safety after being injured by a banned hip-drop tackle. Mixon expressed frustration at the inconsistency of fines for player safety violations, comparing his situation to other players who were fined more for lesser infractions. Mixon, a former Pro Bowler, has been vocal on social media about the issue and is unsure if he will play in the upcoming game against the New England Patriots. He believes that player safety should be the main focus in the NFL.
