Story summary

Joe Mixon, a two-time Pro Bowl running back who last played in January 2025 due to a mysterious foot injury, will meet the Seahawks on Monday according to Fox Sports reporter Jay Glazer. Mixon had been released by the Texans at his own request in March after missing all of the previous season and was initially reported to have told former teammates that his career was over. However, he has not officially filed retirement papers, leaving room for a potential comeback. The Seahawks are currently seeking another running back due to rookie Jadarian Price being on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet recovering from ACL surgery. Mixon previously ran for more than 1,000 yards in five of his first eight NFL seasons with the Bengals and Texans before sustaining the injury that ended his 2024 season.
