Overview
- Multiple NFL insiders reported that Joe Mixon worked out for the Seahawks and is being added to Seattle’s roster structure with a practice-squad signing expected pending a medical exam on Monday.
- The move follows the Seahawks placing first-round rookie Jadarian Price on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet remaining unavailable as he continues his knee recovery, leaving Emanuel Wilson, George Holani and Velus Jones Jr. as the immediate healthy options.
- Mixon, 30, is a two-time Pro Bowler with five 1,000-yard seasons and strong 2024 production, but he missed all of 2025 with a foot problem the Texans’ GM called a “freak” medical situation, creating uncertainty about his health.
- Reporters characterize any deal as a low-cost, prove-it opportunity that would let Seattle evaluate Mixon’s medical clearance, conditioning and grasp of the playbook before committing a full roster spot.
- Key things to watch are the outcome of Mixon’s physical, whether he is elevated from the practice squad for game duty, and how his return would change Seattle’s workload distribution and short-term playoff prospects.
