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.

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.
