Joe Mixon hints at possible NFL comeback in workout video
Summary

Former NFL running back Joe Mixon, who has not played since 2024 due to a foot injury, shared a workout video on Saturday that raised speculation about his potential return to the league. The video concluded with Mixon exclaiming, "Let's go! I'm back, baby!" This post sparked questions about whether he is seeking to rejoin an NFL team or promoting a sock brand. Mixon was released by the Houston Texans earlier this offseason following a season-long absence. Despite earlier statements suggesting he might retire, the recent video could indicate a change in his plans, although there is no official confirmation of a comeback.
