Nobody who arrived this week is a threat to Wilson's carries.
Joe Mixon won't join the team after his physical, Jadarian Price is on injured reserve for at least three more games, and Zach Charbonnet won't play against the 49ers even though this is the first week he's eligible off the PUP list. The only addition was Robert Henry Jr. , an undrafted rookie off the Commanders' practice squad who hasn't made his regular season debut. Wilson already showed what the full job looks like in Week 4 against the Chargers, with 21 carries for 81 yards, three catches for 39 yards and two touchdowns. Those catches are the real change. Holani took the third down snaps when the season opened, and Wilson had zero receptions through the first three weeks. Charbonnet is expected to take team reps in practice this week, and his activation is the next change coming to this backfield.
RENTON, Wash. — Veteran running back Joe Mixon will not join the Seattle Seahawks after all, following his physical with the team Tuesday, according to team and league sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The Seahawks, who are missing their two most talented running backs, instead added running back Robert Henry Jr. off the Washington Commanders’ practice squad on Tuesday. An undrafted rookie out of UTSA, Henry has yet to make his regular-season debut. Rookie running back Jadarian Price was placed on injured reserve Saturday because of a chest/shoulder injury and will miss at least three more games. Veteran Zach Charbonnet, who led the team with 12 rushing touchdowns in 2025, began the season on the physically unable to perform list after tearing his ACL in January and has yet to play. He returned to practice Thursday, opening a three-week window for the Seahawks to add him to the active roster, though he is not expected to play this week against the San Francisco 49ers. Without Price or Charbonnet, the Seahawks ran for 138 yards during Sunday’s 30-23 win against the Los Angeles Chargers. Reserve running back Emanuel Wilson led Seattle with 81 rushing yards on 21 carries and added three catches for 39 yards. He scored two touchdowns in the victory.
