The Seattle Seahawks signed veteran running back Joe Mixon after injuries depleted their backfield, despite his controversial history off the field. Mixon, 30, was released by the Houston Texans due to a severe foot injury in 2025 and will start on the Seahawks' practice squad. The article highlights Mixon's on-field accomplishments, including Pro Bowl selections and an AFC rushing title, but also details his legal issues from college through recent years, which make his return uncertain despite Seattle's current need for running back depth.

Story summary
Joe Mixon, a two-time Pro Bowl running back who hasn't played since January 2025 due to a mysterious foot injury, visited the Seattle Seahawks on Monday. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Mixon will initially join Seattle's practice squad. The Seahawks are seeking additional help in their backfield after placing rookie Jadarian Price on injured reserve and awaiting Zach Charbonnet's return from ACL surgery. Despite his career-threatening injury last year, Mixon had been productive with over 1,000 rushing yards in five of his first eight NFL seasons split between the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans.
