Seahawks opt not to sign RB Joe Mixon after tryout physical

The Seattle Seahawks have decided not to sign veteran running back Joe Mixon to their practice squad after he underwent a physical with the team, according to a source who spoke to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Mixon, a veteran NFL running back, had been working out with the Seahawks as the team evaluated potential depth additions to its backfield. The decision not to proceed came after the physical examination, though the specific reasons for passing on a signing were not detailed in the available reporting.

What it means for Seattle's backfield

The move leaves the Seahawks' running back depth chart unchanged for now, as the team continues to manage its roster needs at the position. Teams routinely bring in veteran players for physicals and workouts without finalizing a roster move, and Mixon's situation reflects that standard evaluation process.

It remains to be seen whether Mixon will draw interest from other teams or whether the Seahawks could revisit a potential signing later in the season.
