It's a bit hard to tell from the photo, but it sort of looks like there
might be a pretty heavy piece paralleling that cut joist just an inch or
so behind it. If that's so and that piece is properly supported and
contacting the underside of the floor, that would seem to make the cut
joist not much of an issue, 'eh?

If not, then certainly something more needs to be done.

It also looks like whoever was nailing the flooring in had a hard time
finding that joist. G
