Seahawks opt to not sign RB Joe Mixon

Oct 06, 2026

Joe Mixon’s return to the NFL is back on hold.

The veteran running back worked out for the Seahawks and head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that the team was “going through the process” of signing him to their practice squad. They have reportedly changed course before the process reached the finish line, however.

Fantasy Impact:

There is no word on the specific reason why the Seahawks opted out. He may have just failed his physical. Mixon missed all of last season with a foot injury. The story said there is also word they will sign Henry off of the Commanders’ practice squad, but the deal has not been officially announced. They did sign Jones off their own practice squad.

No setbacks for 49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs)

No setbacks for Mike Evans, and Shanahan believes "he'll be a little better next week" against the Seahawks with his ribs healing.

Fantasy Impact:

Evans played 59.1% of snaps against the Broncos and had eight targets, catching five passes for 76 yards. All in all, not a terrible fantasy performance. While it sounds like the team expects Evans' rib issue to improve week to week, it's a tough matchup against the Seahawks in Week 5.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson told reporters in his Monday press conference that running back Kyle Monangai’s thumb injury is not serious.

“We think he’s going to be OK,” Johnson said, via transcript from the team. “We’ll see what it looks like as we go through the week here, but more of a day-to-day type deal.”

Fantasy Impact:

While Swift is Chicago’s starter, Monangai leads the team with 324 yards rushing, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Swift has 311 yards, averaging 4.5 yards per carry, the story pointed out. We reported Monday that Monangai quietly left Week 4's game with a thumb injury, and he was getting it looked at on Monday. The day to day tag gives him a real chance to play in Week 5, but we'll continue to watch the practice reports this week to see if he misses time. The Bears are at the Packers in a game that was moved to the early slate on Sunday.

Packers RB Chris Brooks getting tests on ankle

RB Chris Brooks (ankle) is still going through tests.

Related players: MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

The Packers run game would lean on Lloyd and Johnson if Brooks has to miss any time. Lloyd was productive in the passing game with a 5-36-0 line. Johnson ran eight times for 42 yards but fumbled in the red zone in the fourth quarter and did not play again. It's easy to see how the workload could be split assuming Brooks is out, but right now it's tough to trust any of the three backs in your fantasy lineups.
