- Seattle Seahawks are signing running back Joe Mixon after he worked out for the team Monday, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
- Joe Mixon was released by the Houston Texans in March after missing the 2025 season with a foot injury; the two-time Pro Bowler rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 TDs in 2024 and has 7,428 career rushing yards across seven seasons with Cincinnati and one with Houston.
- Jadarian Price, Seattle's rookie first-round running back, was placed on injured reserve Saturday with a chest injury and will miss at least the next three games.
- Emanuel Wilson and George Holani currently top Seattle's depth chart, with Zach Charbonnet nearing a return from the physically unable to perform list and Velus Jones Jr. signed off the practice squad Saturday.
- Wilson powered Sunday's 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, tallying 81 rushing yards on 21 carries, a rushing touchdown, and a receiving score on three catches for 39 yards.
Why it matters: Seattle hands a 30-year-old former Pro Bowler coming off a missed 2025 season a chance to revive his career in a backfield that just lost its first-round rookie to IR, where Charbonnet is also nearing return. Mixon's Houston release in March despite a 1,016-yard 2024 shows how thin his league standing had become before this opportunity.
