The Seahawks are signing free agent running back Joe Mixon to their practice squad, pending a physical, ESPN reported. The move comes after Mixon worked out for Seattle on Monday, which was confirmed as a formal tryout on the league's transaction wire.
Mixon missed the entire 2025 season with a foot injury, according to CBS Sports. In 2024, he rushed for over 1,000 yards and more than 10 touchdowns. The signing addresses what multiple outlets described as a banged up or depleted backfield situation in Seattle.
