The Seattle Seahawks decided not to sign veteran running back Joe Mixon to their practice squad after he underwent a physical, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Sources had told ESPN on Monday that the team planned to sign Mixon -- who did not play in 2025 due to a foot injury -- but that it was contingent on passing a physical. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that Mixon worked out for the team but spoke in non-definitive terms about a signing.
The Seahawks on Tuesday signed running back Robert Henry Jr. off the Washington Commanders' practice squad. Henry, an undrafted rookie out of UTSA, has yet to appear in an NFL game. The Seahawks also are signing former Baltimore Ravens running back Dontae Mc Millan to their practice squad. Mixon, 30, was released in March by the Houston Texans after spending the entire 2025 season on their non-football injury list. In 2024, he rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl honors.
Rookie Jadarian Price, the Seahawks' top running back and first-round pick, will miss at least three more games after he was placed on injured reserve with a chest injury. Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Sunday that while it's not clear how long Price will be sidelined, the team doesn't "see it as a season-ending thing at all." With Price out, Emanuel Wilson is Seattle's lead back. Zach Charbonnet, who is on the physically unable to perform list, is also nearing a return from an ACL tear.
