The Seattle Seahawks are bolstering their depleted running back corps by planning to sign veteran Joe Mixon to their practice squad. Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Mixon worked out for the team and is in the process of joining.
This move addresses critical injuries, with rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price on injured reserve and practice-squadder Jacardia Wright dealing with a foot issue. Macdonald stated, "We're down runners. We need running backs. He's a good running back."
Mixon, 30, a two-time Pro Bowler, missed the entire 2025 season due to a foot injury. He was released by the Houston Texans in March. In 2024, his last healthy season, Mixon recorded 1,016 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns.
Emanuel Wilson has taken over as the lead back for Seattle, performing well in their recent victory. George Holani is the No. 2 option, with Velus Jones Jr. providing depth. Zach Charbonnet is returning from an ACL injury but will not play this week.
