Key Takeaways

• Zach Charbonnet remains unavailable due to ACL recovery, and first-round rookie Jadarian Price has been placed on injured reserve with a chest injury, creating a depleted Seattle backfield.
• Seattle hosted Mixon for a workout on Monday and signed him shortly thereafter, per ESPN, signaling a quick transition to active duty.
• In 2024 with the Houston Texans, Mixon rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns on 245 carries, marking a productive rebuild of a bell cow role after missing the prior season.
• Across 2021–2024 with the Bengals and Texans, Mixon accumulated 4,069 rushing yards, ranking sixth in the league for that span, along with 40 rushing touchdowns (tied for fourth).
• He will compete for snaps with veteran backs Emanuel Wilson and George Holani, with Wilson already leading this season in carries (53), rushing yards (190), and rushing TDs (1).
• The signing comes ahead of a high-profile Week 5 home game against the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers, a matchup that could dictate early momentum for Seattle.
• If all goes well, Mixon could be integrated into the Seahawks’ game plan in time for Sunday’s contest at Lumen Field, potentially boosting the offense for the early-season stretch.
