Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon injured his ankle during Houston 's 19-13 win over the Chicago Bears .

Mixon was brought down by Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards using what appeared to be the now-banned swivel hip-drop tackle.

The refs did not penalize Edwards as Mixon limped to the sideline before entering the medical tent.

The league in March approved a rule proposal to ban the hip drop tackle.
