Ex-Bengals RB Mixon attempting comeback
Former Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon reportedly is working out for the Seattle Seahawks.
Former Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is attempting a professional football comeback, working out for the Seattle Seahawks as of October 5 according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Mixon expressed in July his belief that his NFL career had ended. The Houston Texans released Mixon in March. Neither the Bengals nor Seahawks are set to face each other in the 2026 NFL regular season.
Mixon was a Pro Bowler in his rookie year with the Texans, but missed the 2022 season due to a foot injury. The Cincinnati Bengals traded Mixon to Houston in March 2024 for a future seventh-round draft pick. In January 2025, CBS analyst and former NFL player J.J. Watt questioned a $25,000 fine Mixon received for criticizing officials.
Sunday Night Football analyst and former Bengals receiver Cris Collinsworth noted in November 2024 that Cincinnati's trade of Mixon provided him an incentive to prove himself with Houston.
