The Seattle Seahawks are signing veteran running back Joe Mixon.

The reigning Super Bowl champions have agreed to terms on a contract for the 30-year-old veteran.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Seattle’s plan is to sign Mixon to its practice squad initially. The Seahawks next play on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. 

Mixon, who had spells with the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and will bring experience to Mike Macdonald’s running back room.

He missed the 2025 season through a mystery injury and was released by the Texans in March. 

Houston general manager Nick Caserio had previously said Mixon was sidelined by a ‘freak’ foot injury. Then, in July, reports emerged that the running back had told some teammates that ‘he is not going to play football anymore.’
