Joists nearby sound solid, no visible termite damage that I can see. Do you think the joist is still somewhat structurally sound? Any recommendations on supporting this joist or helping prevent future termites?

Still feels fairly solid, although near the shredding it kinda sounds hallow, I could be wrong through, I might not be hearing it right. The other joists don’t have any damage whatsoever, they sound solid. This is a 50’s house, so it feels like whatever damage happened it was years ago. I’m not sure where to go from here, sistering two joists sounds like it can help structurally, but I’m just not sure if that’s the right move… Plus I have pocket joists so I’m not sure what kind of madness is involved taking the old one out and putting the new one in
Thank you so much for this response. This is the kind of details i needed, thank you so much again!
They definitely picked THE worst spot. I figured pocket joist were gonna be more complicated than your average joist lol.
