    HOUSTON — The hip-drop tackle -- it's a term you're going to be hearing more about, especially after Texans' running back Joe Mixon went down with an injury Sunday night in Houston's win over Chicago. So what is a hip-drop tackle? According to the league, it's when "...a defender wraps up a ball carrier and rotates or swivels his hips, unweighting himself and dropping onto the ball carrier's legs during the tackle." It was banned by the NFL in 2024.

    HOUSTON — The Astros have been missing one of the biggest bats in their lineup since early June and we’re finally finding out why. Right fielder Kyle Tucker fouled a ball off his shin on June 3 in the Astros game against the Cardinals and has been out ever since. The team has maintained the injury was a contusion, but a report surfaced Monday in The Athletic that Tucker’s injury was actually a fracture. Tucker confirmed the news in a postgame interview Monday with Space City Home Network.
