The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly signing veteran running back Joe Mixon after he missed the entire 2025 NFL season with a foot injury and had not taken a game snap since the 2024 postseason. Multiple outlets say Mixon worked out with Seattle on Monday before the team moved to add him to its backfield depth. Some reports describe the move as a practice-squad signing.
The Seahawks enter the decision while managing injuries and needing help in their running back room. One outlet notes Seattle is 3-1 but ranks around the middle of the league in rushing production while waiting for Zach Charbonnet to return from injured reserve. Other reports emphasize Mixon’s recent workload absence but point to his 2024 production, when he rushed for more than 1,000 yards and scored more than 10 touchdowns. Fox also mentions that the move follows retirement speculation tied to Mixon’s situation, while other coverage focuses more on the roster need and his workout with the team.
