Seattle briefly advanced toward adding Joe Mixon after a Monday workout and a reported agreement, but the team ultimately declined to sign him following the physical. The move reflected Seattle’s need for running back depth as it evaluated options, even as Mixon’s recent health history and limited availability created uncertainty. The decision leaves the Seahawks with a thinner backfield ahead of ongoing workloads and injury concerns. The broader context highlights Houston’s ongoing run-game challenges and the slow, uncertain return of Mixon from a lengthy absence. The situation suggests Seattle will pursue other options while assessing Mixon’s status going forward.
