Bears’ T.J. Edwards fined $16,883 for hip-drop tackle that injured Texans RB Joe Mixon

The Houston Texans will be without running back Joe Mixon for their Week 3 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings due to an ankle injury he suffered on an illegal hip-drop tackle delivered by Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards during Houston’s Week 2 victory.

Mixon took to social media earlier this week to sound off on the new rule that has yet to be upheld.

“The NFL and NFLPA made it a rule and an emphasis for a reason,” Mixon posted. “Time to put your money where your mouth is.”

Now, he’s being forced to miss at least one game due to the dangerous play.
