Quick Summary

Joe Mixon, a veteran running back who hasn't played since January 2025 due to an unspecified foot injury, is joining the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad after meeting with them on Monday. The Seahawks, currently at 3-1 following a recent win over the Chargers, are seeking to bolster their rushing attack which ranks near the middle of the league in yards per game and carry. Mixon, 30 years old, was one of the NFL’s most productive running backs when healthy during his career with the Texans and other teams.

Story summary

Joe Mixon, a two-time Pro Bowl running back who hasn't played since January 2025 due to a mysterious foot injury, visited the Seattle Seahawks on Monday. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Mixon will initially join Seattle's practice squad. The Seahawks are seeking additional help in their backfield after placing rookie Jadarian Price on injured reserve and awaiting Zach Charbonnet's return from ACL surgery. Despite his career-threatening injury last year, Mixon had been productive with over 1,000 rushing yards in five of his first eight NFL seasons split between the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans.
