Shalonda Mixon, sister of former Bengals running back Joe Mixon, pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing justice in connection with a shooting at her brother’s house that wounded a 16-year-old. In exchange for her plea, she will serve three years on probation in California, where she now lives. Mixon’s boyfriend, Lamonte Brewer, is accused of firing the shots and is facing additional charges at the federal level.
The Houston Texans have added running back Joe Mixon to their roster in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals. Mixon, a former Pro Bowler, was acquired for a seventh-round draft pick. Despite the signing of star wide receiver Stefon Diggs, the move for Mixon has received less attention. Texans general manager Nick Caserio explained that Mixon was set to be released and the team saw an opportunity to acquire him. Mixon had a productive 2023 season, rushing for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns. He also caught 52 passes for 376 yards and three touchdowns. The 27-year-old has four 1,000-yard seasons in his career, but his efficiency has declined in recent years. It remains to be seen if Mixon can regain his efficiency with the Texans in 2024.
