Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (chest) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 29.
SOURCE: Seahawks.com
Why it Matters: Price has a chance to return to action Monday night, but with Zach Charbonnet (knee) potentially making his debut and Emanuel Wilson and George Holani also in the mix, it is going to be hard to know which Seattle back to trust. Fantasy owners with more reliable options should probably shy away from the Seattle backfield until a pecking order becomes better established.

1. Seahawks (preseason No. 1; 0-0): Is rookie Jadarian Price ready to carry the load in the running game?
2. Rams (No. 2; 0-0): Anything short of a Super Bowl appearance will be viewed as failure.
3. Texans (No. 3; 0-0): If the offense is just a little bit better, they could be a Super Bowl team.

Surprised the Seahawks' top rookie didn't play at all this preseason?
Taken aback that the 22-year-old first-round draft pick the Super Bowl champions are entrusting to replace departed Kenneth Walker as lead running back hasn't played a game since last November, for Notre Dame?
So is Jadarian Price.
He said he expected to play in at least one of the Seahawks' three preseason games last month.
"I was a little bit surprised, yeah," Price said Saturday, before the first practice of his first NFL game week — of any kind, fake season or real.

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price appears to be slated for a successful start to his NFL career in 2026.
NFL.com's **** ysts named Price as their pick to be the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year at the end of next season, setting him above the league's other rookie candidates entering the season.
"Getting 15 touches a week for the defending Super Bowl champions, with a reigning Offensive Player of the Year threatening on the outside, is about as cushy an entry into the NFL as you can get," the Around the NFL Staff said.
Price, the Seahawks' No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, is expected to step into a prominent role in Seattle's backfield following Kenneth Walker III's departure and Zach Charbonnet's injury. His combination of speed and burst gives the Seahawks a versatile rushing threat, while his receiving ability will keep him involved on passing downs.
The former Notre Dame standout is in line to become an immediate focal point of Seattle's offense. A substantial workload in Seattle's run-heavy offense gives Price a clear statistical path to winning the award in 2026. In the event that he translates his level of play from the 2025 season at Notre Dame, and his growth from the offseason into consistent NFL output, Price may emerge as the league's most impactful offensive rookie star at the end of the year.

Just because an NFL player is injured and will be on the shelf -- for a little (or longer) while -- doesn't mean you should completely avoid him in fantasy football.
This is especially true if you have some IR spots that can be filled with a player who is on the actual injured reserve list. Sometimes, the best strategy with a talented player like that is to wait until the later rounds when that player is overlooked and to ***** them with a late pick.
In this case, we're ranking the names who could be noteworthy IR stashes in your draft. Let's run through some of them and rank them based on priority:
Obviously, rookie Jadarian Price is going to handle a lot of work from the get-go, and we may see more George Holani than we think. But Charbonnet is coming back from a torn ACL in the playoffs, and when he does return, it's possible he'll get more work than you think he might. I'd take him late and stash him in the hopes that he's a factor by the middle of the season.
Jeremiyah Love is injured and a rookie. Tyler Allgeier will have a role. And Conner? The veteran with a foot injury will miss at least the first four games. Given some of the uncertainty here, I'd recommend a stash in the hopes that he's a factor in the offense sometime in October or November.

The Seattle Seahawks concluded their final rounds of roster cuts following their 9-9 preseason finale tie against the Kansas City Chiefs. They have also officially set their 53-man roster as they gear up to take on the New England Patriots to kick off the 2026 NFL season in Week 1. However, on their roster you will only see three running backs: Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson.
Unfortunately, the reason for this is because the Seahawks have placed their otherwise presumed starting running back Zach Charbonnet on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. This is unsurprising, considering Charbonnet suffered his ACL injury during the 41-6 blowout victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Given how late in the season this occurred, the beginning of the season was always going to be off the table for Charbonnet. Still, it's a cold splash of reality to see it actually come to fruition.
Charbonnet was one of the more critical, yet perhaps a little underrated, cogs in the Seahawks' offensive machine last season. The former UCLA product had 730 rushes and 12 rushing touchdowns. In fact, Charbonnet became the first Seattle running back to have double-digit rushing touchdowns since Marshawn Lynch had 13 during the 2014 campaign.
Of course, arguably the most important play of the season was Charbonnet's heads up decision to pick up the ball during Seattle's comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams. This was later ruled to be a successful two-point conversion which tied the game, and the Seahawks would eventually go on to win in overtime.
Charbonnet will miss games against the Patriots, Cardinals, Commanders and Chargers. The earliest he could be allowed to return will be the Week 5 home game against the San Francisco 49ers, but even that feels unlikely. Seahawks Wire will continue to monitor his health status moving forward.

The Seattle Seahawks opted to keep just the three running backs during their cut down to their initial 53-man roster on Sunday. Jadarian Price, George Holani, and Emanuel Wilson will be the trio for the early portion of the season, all while Zach Charbonnet recovers from his ACL surgery.
As expected, the Seahawks kept Charbonnet on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start the regular season. He will have to miss a minimum of four games before he's eligible to return, so the earliest he could make his debut is Week 5 versus the San Francisco 49ers. It's worth noting, however, that Week 5 and 6 is a Sunday-Thursday short week, so if they want to be safe then his debut could be Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
One thing to note regarding Charbonnet's PUP status is an NFL rule change enacted this season. Charbonnet, whose offseason recovery has seemingly gone smoothly, can have his 21-day practice window activated after the second regular season game is completed. Previously, a practice window couldn't be opened until after the four games were up, so if Charbonnet could be ready to return to practice as early as Week 3.
There's no rush to have Charbonnet available for that 49ers game, but it'd be a full circle moment if his first game back is against the same opponent he scored the only touchdown against in the de facto NFC West ***** le showdown, as well as the same foe in which his season cruelly ended.

The Seattle Seahawks waived running back Anthony Hankerson on Monday, according to ESPN's Brady Henderson, prior to their final preseason matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday.
Hankerson rushed for 1,086 yards in 2025 at Oregon State prior to entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Miami Dolphins in May. He was waived by the Dolphins in August, before signing with the Seahawks during training camp.
The 22-year-old Hankerson rushed for 10 yards on five carries, and added nine receiving yards in the Seahawks' 19-16 loss to the Tennessee **** ans in Week 2 of the preseason prior to being waived by Seattle.
The Seahawks move forward with a running back unit consisting of Jadarian Price, Zach Charbonnet, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones Jr., and Jacardia Wright. Hankerson will be able to sign with another team as a free agent if he is not claimed off of waivers.

The Seahawks made a big change at running back this offseason and quarterback Sam Darnold likes how things are shaping up in the backfield.
Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker left for Kansas City in free agency and the Seahawks replaced him with first-round pick Jadarian Price. Price's preseason has been hampered by a leg injury, but he was back in action this week and took part in Friday's joint practice with the ****** ans.
The ability Price showed as a runner and receiver in that workout left Darnold singing his praises.
"He's a special player," Darnold said, via the team's website. "He's a really special player. He brings a different facet to the offense that only a guy like him can bring. Whether it's catching passes out of the backfield, catching screens, running in between the tackles, outside of the tackles, he can really do it all. And I know he's just going to continue to get better and learn."
Veteran Zach Charbonnet is still recovering from a torn ACL and the Seahawks don't have any other established backs on the roster, so Price figures to be playing a major role right out of the gate in Seattle. Darnold's review makes that sound like a positive situation for the defending champs.

There's a bit of good news and not-so-good news coming out of the Seattle Seahawks' Monday practice.
On the positive side, running backs Jadarian Price and Jacardia Wright are back in pads and practicing in team drills. The potentially bad news? Second-year wide receiver Tory Horton, who missed the back-half of last season with a crackted tibia, was not part of Monday's session at VMAC.
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald didn't have much to offer in terms of injury specifics for Horton or anyone else.
"Tory's working through some things," Macdonald said at Monday's press conference. "Yeah, not a lot of updates on the injury front right now, but they had a couple guys down today."
Horton did not play in Saturday's preseason loss versus the Dallas Cowboys, although it's unknown whether that's injury related or if he's enough of a key offensive component to not be risked for a game. Dating back to his final season at Colorado State, he's had consecutive seasons end prematurely due to leg injuries.

The NFL preseason has begun and every team has played at least one game. We have some idea as to what teams will look like competitively in 2026.
NFL.com's Nick Shook has new preseason power rankings. We have to figure that the Arizona Cardinals are fairly low on the list, but let's see what the NFC West as a whole looks like, compared to the entire league.
You've heard the sound bites, read the headlines and drowned in the tidal wave of optimism. The Rams are Lombardi Trophy favorites, seemingly destined for a march to a Super Bowl that will be played in their home stadium, the same location in which they won their last ******* le. It's never that easy, of course, but GM Les Snead has built a monster in Los Angeles. With Myles Garrett trading brown and orange for royal blue and sol, Aaron Donald nearing a potential return from retirement to hop back onto the bandwagon he once captained, and Matthew Stafford coming off an MVP-winning season, this is a year the Rams go for it all. It will be up to them to make it through to the other side of a season-long gauntlet in their attempt to claim the throne.
This is no surprise. With the return of Matthew Stafford, an offense that was fantastic, and with the defensive additions of Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie, the Rams are the team to beat in 2026.
The reigning champs lost Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in free agency, don't yet have his former running mate, Zach Charbonnet, available as he continues on his journey back from a torn ACL, and are placing a lot of backfield responsibility on the likes of rookie Jadarian Price and backup George Holani. Star defender Nick Emmanwori remains on the physically unable to perform list, too, although there's hope Mike Macdonald's ultimate chess piece can return in time for Week 1. Otherwise, everything is great for the Seahawks. Continuity will reign early in 2026, thanks in large part to the return of a familiar starting offensive lineup. The suffocating defense lost some pieces to free agency in the offseason, requiring reinforcement that could be tested, but there's little reason to think the 'Hawks will be anywhere but right back in the thick of the NFC race.

The Seattle Seahawks lost to the Dallas Cowboys 17-7 on Saturday night, but the true takeaways reside in the lessons we learned. There might be no more relevant week to prioritize takeaways than preseason. You didn't need to win. You did need to come away with as many ways to improve your team as possible. Here were the five most obvious lessons.
First, the running back rotation ended up being fairly varied like I predicted, but George Holani received 12 carries. Velus Jones Jr. took 7, TJ Harden took 2, and Justin Jones took 1. None of Emanuel Wilson, Zach Charbonnet, and Jadarian Price played, with both of the latter two likely to supplant Holani at some point this season when they return from injury. Until then, though, last year's third-stringer Holani will start. Price will likely be back in the near future and regular season, might also need to show pass-blocking prowess to earn the every-down workhorse role some might envision.
While the rather excellent episode two of Hard Knocks has been the talk of the town the past week, the tape will reflect the team's focus on managing and controlling violence. Derick Hall was coaching up Jalan Gaines, who was relentlessly attacking Dallas' quarterbacks, and Mason Richman and Beau Stephens were taking the competition to the Dallas' defensive line, both getting great downhill push in the run game. The young offensive lineman are a product of the culture Mike Macdonald and company have created and prioritized.
Jalen Milroe is a good quarterback prospect who the Seahawks can just keep waiting in the wings until they might need him, and he showed enough improvement tonight compared to last preseason to justify the draft capital they spent on him. They won the Super Bowl, but they might end up with an extremely interesting ***** et here the longer he's allowed to wait. He's 23, has 1st-round level athleticism, and is hitting the middle of the field consistently. Watch out.
I know, you could say any DB is a perfect fit here and be right, but Arnold's first-round athletic profile seems like an anti-Puka Nacua device. Having both him and Devon Witherspoon would be such a ridiculous blend of aggression and athleticism with Nick Emmanwori and Julian Love, and although Josh Jobe has played great too, the team clearly needs more experienced depth behind them outside.

The Seattle Seahawks are set to kick off their preseason opener at 5 p.m. PST against the Dallas Cowboys at Lumen Field. Here are four bold predictions surrounding main narratives in this game, which will give us the first taste of game action as defending champions.
First, I believe six to seven healthy running backs- George Holani, Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones Jr., Jacardia Wright, TJ Harden, and Justin Jones- to get carries. We'll see them all side-by-side and make a fair evaluation on the eye test, then discuss after the game in takeaways and Studs & Duds. Maybe we'll even get a feel for the baseline RB pecking order at the current moment.
Second, don't sleep on Dallas' depth along both the offensive and defensive line. They've bolstered their formidable new interior duo of Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams with a plethora of edge pieces, from Otito Ogbonnia and Rashan Gary to Donovan Ezeraiku and Dee Winters, plus backups like Jaishawn Barham and rookie LT Overton out of Alabama that should play a lot tonight. This will be a much better measuring stick for the Seahawks' developmental pieces than the Raiders were last year. That could mean Mason Richman, Bryce Cabeldue and the rest of the backup offensive line need to step up and prove their level in the second half.
Ironically, Brian Schottenheimer returns to Seattle with low stakes, but his offense still struggles to move the chains more than it should. Expect him to try to go deep and to the boundary and get his young skill players involved, but with the Seahawks positively violent mentality which was featured on the most recent Hard Knocks, screens and out routes will be no match- regardless of the level of depth the game calls for.
Finally, Brian Fleury's offense will reveal its foundation to the world, or at least, whoever's watching this game. I don't know how much influence he'll bring from Kyle Shanahan or the San Francisco 49ers offense, or if it'll be productive. A first-time offensive play caller is as good an opportunity for surprise as any, so I expect this to be the talking point of the night when all is said and done. Follow us here during the game for breakdowns of exactly what Fleury and Mike Macdonald are cooking up, and check back postgame for takeaways, Studs & Duds, and all your other Seahawks needs!

Seahawks' RB plan reveals 2-3 player update that's bad news for Jadarian Price originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for the 2026 NFL season with a new-look running back room after Kenneth Walker III left for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Zach Charbonnet is set to miss time at the start of the year.
So, who will be earning the reps out of the backfield in Seattle? First-round rookie Jadarian Price, free-agent signing Emanuel Wilson, and returning RB George Holani are the three most-likely backs to see work.
But how will Seattle manage this room? According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald revealed that it won't be a bell-cow situation, but rather a committee with two to three backs involved at any given time.
"The running back rotation will feature 'two, possibly three guys in a game plan,' Macdonald told me, starting with the preseason," Fowler writes.

The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for the 2026 NFL season with a new-look running back room after Kenneth Walker III left for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Zach Charbonnet is set to miss time at the start of the year.
So, who will be earning the reps out of the backfield in Seattle? First-round rookie Jadarian Price, free-agent signing Emanuel Wilson, and returning RB George Holani are the three most-likely backs to see work.
But how will Seattle manage this room? According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald revealed that it won't be a bell-cow situation, but rather a committee with two to three backs involved at any given time.
"The running back rotation will feature 'two, possibly three guys in a game plan,' Macdonald told me, starting with the preseason," Fowler writes.

The Seattle Seahawks are back on the practice field Monday, as they prepare for the 2026 season and defending their ******* le as reigning World Champions after stomping the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX.
The first on-field action against another team will come on Saturday when the Seahawks host the Dallas Cowboys at Lumen Field to open the preseason, and ahead of that matchup a handful of members of the roster returned to practice after having been held out the last for days for a variety of reasons.
The return to practice of Jake Bobo, Julian Neal, Jamie Sherriff and Mike Morris is obviously good news, as is the news from Corbin Smith that offensive linemen Mason Richman and Logan Brown are back at work after getting dinged up during the team scrimmage Saturday.
Of course, as good as the news that Brown and Richman are suited up is, the fact that there is no sign of Jadarian Price during warmups is not great. Price has been held out of practice the last few days with lower-body soreness, but is expected to be back in action sometime soon. Of course, the longer the absence continues for the Seahawks first round pick, the more questions fans will raise about exactly how sore he is and what might be causing it.

Seahawks' RB Emmanuel Wilson steps up as first-round pick sidelined originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Running back Jadarian Price had a lower-body injury problem during training camp. Because of this, he had to stay off the field. Emmanuel Wilson, who was an experienced free agent, signed with the Seattle Seahawks on March 13 and made full use of the opportunity he got in Seahawks' practice.
"I'm bringing something different," Wilson told reporters on Saturday. "A lot of people think I don't have speed, but I have a lot of speed on my end, and really just bringing a lot of power."
Also, Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III signed with the Chiefs because he wanted to be a top running back.

Their top rookie wasn't practicing again.
Their Super Bowl-champion threw an interception, which in his sterling training camp is semi-news.
Nick Emmanwori did the smallest bit of stretching with his teammates before he watched them practice again. Fellow safety D'Anthony Bell and their coaches joked with Emmanwori and slapped him warmly on his back. It was the next, incremental step in the dynamic safety/linebacker's return to Mike Macdonald's top-ranked defense from arthroscopic ankle surgery last month. Emmanwori remains what the team has thought all along: on track to play in the opener in four weeks.
And a player who had his worst football day in this event almost a year to the day showed he is all the way back.
The Seahawks' annual fan-fest, training-camp practice at Lumen Field Saturday evening was the second straight practice rookie first-round draft choice Jadarian Price missed. He was in team sweats walking out as the champs took the field to the crowd's cheers to begin drills. A team spokesman said the running back has "lower-body soreness," per a team spokesman.

Seattle Seahawks rookie Jadarian Price has been given his first Madden NFL rating this offseason.
Price approaches his first season in the league in 2026 with expectations to be the Seahawks' featured running back. Seattle won the Super Bowl last season, but lost Super Bowl MVP Walker III in free agency, and needs Price to put up numbers as a rookie.
The 22-year-old Price has the talent to be a must-see-TV player in 2026, and a player that many desire to use in Madden NFL 27, which is set to release on all platforms on Aug. 13.
Let's take a look at what Price's initial Madden 27 rating is.
Jadarian Price has a 75 overall rating in Madden NFL 27.

The Seattle Seahawks held their eighth public training camp practices early Friday morning, a special practice for season ticket holders and their guests. It was another warm day at team headquarters in Renton, albeit less smoky and hazy than earlier in the week. Much like Wednesday's practice, the Seahawks were not in pads, and indeed they mixed things up with the 11 vs. 11 sessions. There was first-team offense vs. second-team defense, third-team offense vs. first-team defense, the usual 1s vs. 1s and 2s vs. 2s, plus a lot of situational football like red zone and 3rd-and-long work that often decides actual games.
For the second time this week, Field Gulls was on-site at VMAC observing what was just about a three-hour long practice. Myself and fellow Field Gulls staff writer and host of The Hawks Eye podcast, Bryce Coutts, as well as Seahawks Forever podcast host, Dan Viens, filmed an instant reaction video after practice ended with our quick-fire takeaways. We discuss the absence of Jadarian Price (which we now know is due to "lower body soreness" per Gregg Bell), the impressive performances of Emanuel Wilson and Ricky White III, a name to watch at the edge, and a promised wrinkle in Brian Fleury's offense that we saw heavily worked on in today's practice.
Oh yeah, and there's a new fullback here who's already getting into the swing of things. Here's new fullback Brock Lampe with RBs coach Thomas Hammock.
This is only a 7-minute video, which should make it digestible for everyone who's able to have a listen! But tonight's big event for us is the Seahawks Syndicate Town Hall Q&A, which goes live at 7:30 pm PT on YouTube and will also be available to watch on Field Gulls! We'll be talking camp, Seahawks football in general, doing some trivia, and a bunch of other fun stuff for our in-person studio audience at Fast Fashion Brewing in SoDo. That article is coming up on FG later on Friday evening.
If you attended camp with us, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section!

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to rely heavily on Jadarian Price in 2026 and the rookie RB could be vital to their Super Bowl chances.
The NFL is constantly changing with players moving around to different teams. That's been the case over the offseason after the reigning champions lost Kenneth Walker despite being the Super Bowl MVP in February.
MORE: 3 running backs buried on NFL depth charts that will have big breakouts
Price was a late first-round pick in April's NFL Draft after spending his college career at Notre Dame. However, his presence for Seattle is crucial as the franchise looks to make another championship run.
The 22 year old enters his professional career with significant expectations despite being overshadowed while playing for the Fighting Irish. Price's collegiate tenure featured the running back splitting carries with Arizona Cardinals star Jeremiyah Love.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish alum Jadarian Price is already making an impression on his new team, the NFL's Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks took Price, a running back, with the 32nd overall pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Price, who was at times overshadowed by Jeremiyah Love while at Notre Dame, seems to have impressed Seattle coaches. At least from what we see in a clip from HBO's "Hard Knocks", a reality-TV series shadowing the Seahawks during training camp.
Love, by the way, was taken third overall in the draft by the Arizona Cardinals.

Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Sam Darnold and No. 1 wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba arguably were the best QB-WR pairing in the NFL last season. It's partially why the Seahawks won Super Bowl 60. Their connection was once again fully on display at Wednesday's 10th training camp practice.
Smith-Njigba posted a league-leading 1,793 receiving yards last season. JSN was rewarded for his individual accolades by being named Offensive Player of the Year. Smith-Njigba has picked up right where he left off this offseason.
Smith-Njigba was downright dominant at Wednesday's practice, per ESPN reporter Brady Henderson, who was in attendance. "It was great to see him come alive," head coach Mike Macdonald said after practice. "Some of those in high-leverage situations, too. … There's defensive attention on where he's at at all times, too, so for him to be able to make those plays, it's great for the Seahawks, great for him."
Darnold has so many pass-catching weapons at his disposal. Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, and AJ Barner are proven threats. Sophomores Elijah Arroyo and Tory Horton are expected to take developmental steps forward. The running game has been revamped with the additions of Emanuel Wilson and Jadarian Price, and possibly a bigger role for George Holani.
Wednesday's practice was a reminder that the offense should still run through Smith-Njigba, though.

The Seattle Seahawks signed running back TJ Harden to a one-year contract on Wednesday. Ian Rapoport was first on it at 1:34 p.m. PST.
Harden went undrafted in April after a four-year college career with UCLA and SMU. He signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent and participated in their offseason activities until Monday, when they released him to make room for defensive tackle Travis Bell. Cleveland now has five running backs after releasing Harden, but the Seahawks have seven after adding him.
Measuring in at 6'0 2/8", 218, Harden profiles as a physical runner with good contact balance. He was only a three-star recruit out of high school due to limited speed and agility, but still good enough in the competitive California Southern Section to convince UCLA to take a chance on him. Just two years ago, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy praised his ability to execute a well-rounded fullback role, "taking stress off the tight end" in pass protection in addition to running and catching when need be.
Harden won't threaten Jadarian Price's reps as the most explosive back in the offense, but all the short-yardage backs have a new competitor to stave off. If he can stand out in pass protection, he can push the rest of the depth chart during training camp and preseason. If the fullback role is truly in the works, though, maybe it's just a short-term Robbie Ouzts replacement.

From a first-round pick to fringe players just trying to make the roster, the Seahawks continue to duke it out at training camp.
And, this week, some players are getting hit for the first time.
Including rookie running back Jadarian Price.
Selected 32nd-overall this spring, and with fellow back Zach Chabonnet hobbled, Price will undoubtedly make the 53-man roster.
Everything is new for the Notre Dame alum. We also had a chance to chat with Grey Zabel, a second-year player who is getting much more comfortable this time around.

The Seattle Seahawks have waived running back Kenny McIntosh, a former Georgia Bulldog. McIntosh won Super Bowl 60 with the Seahawks last season, but it was bittersweet because McIntosh tore his ACL prior to the 2025 NFL season, so he watched Seattle's triumphant season from the sidelines.
McIntosh was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on July 20. Seattle elected to waive McIntosh, which means he is likely not healthy yet. McIntosh was expected to make $1.1 million in 2026 and was entering a contract year. He will now hope to find a new niche in the NFL.
McIntosh was a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He's appeared in 20 career NFL games including all 17 in 2024. McIntosh has 31 carries for 172 yards in his NFL career. He won national ***** les at Georgia in 2021 and 2022. McIntosh notably had 126 total yards and a touchdown in Georgia's comeback win over Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinals.
Seattle is also placing running back Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list. Charbonnet tore his ACL during Seattle's playoff run and is seeking to return in Week 1.
The Seahawks drafted Jadarian Price in the first-round of the 2026 NFL draft to help fill the void with Charbonnet possibly out and Kenneth Walker leaving via free agency. Seattle also has backup running backs George Holani and Emanuel Wilson.

Do the Seattle Seahawks need more at running back for the 2026 NFL season?
Bleacher Report's Alex Kay named Tennessee ******* ans star Tony Pollard as a running back that is worth the Seahawks pursuing in a trade prior to the start of next season.
"With good hands and acceptable pass-blocking talent, Pollard can be involved in all phases of Seattle's offense and used in a variety of ways," Kay said. "He's an ideal plug-and-play veteran for the defending champs as they gear up for another deep run."
Pollard is a perennial 1,000-yard rusher who excels in picking up yardage up the middle. He is consistent, skilled and has the experience to allow Seattle to not only run the ball in volume, but also change pace well next season.
With question marks at the running back position in Seattle, Pollard is a player who is capable of providing stability in the offensive backfield next to rookie Jadarian Price beginning in 2026.

The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly moving on from another member of their rapidly changing running back room.
Seattle plans to waive running back Kenny McIntosh, ESPN's Brady Henderson reported on July 27. McIntosh opened training camp on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from the torn ACL that cost him the entire 2025 season.
The move has not yet appeared among the Seahawks' official roster transactions as of Henderson's report.
McIntosh's departure comes at a significant point in Seattle's backfield competition. Zach Charbonnet is also on the PUP list, leaving first-round rookie Jadarian Price, free-agent addition Emanuel Wilson and George Holani to handle the available practice work. The battle for their starting running back job is one of the central training-camp storylines.
McIntosh, a seventh-round selection in the 2023 NFL draft, finishes his Seattle tenure with 31 regular-season carries for 172 yards. All of that production came in 2024, when he averaged 5.5 yards per attempt while playing primarily behind Kenneth Walker III and Charbonnet.

The Seattle Seahawks are set to move on from one of their running backs.
ESPN's Brady Henderson reported on Monday that the Seahawks are planning to waive fourth-year back Kenny McIntosh, who is currently on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list after suffering a torn ACL last training camp.
The Seahawks confirmed Henderson's report shortly thereafter. McIntosh was not immediately replaced, so the Seahawks will enter Tuesday with an open roster spot.
It's an unfortunate situation for the national champion from Georgia, who injured his knee during 2023 training camp and barely played as a rookie. In 2024, McIntosh played in every game but predominantly on special teams. When he did get involved in the offense, rushed for 172 yards on 31 carries and caught three passes for 22 yards in limited playing time. He also was part of Seattle's kick return rotation.
With the Seahawks drafting Jadarian Price in the first round and signing Emanuel Wilson in free agency, it was always going to be difficult for McIntosh to make the roster this season. George Holani, who lost out to McIntosh for a roster spot in 2024, was able to secure a spot after McIntosh's injury and has the inside track to have an increased role in the offense. Factor in the eventual return of Zach Charbonnet from his own ACL tear, and there just wasn't much of a realistic path for McIntosh to make the 53-man roster.

The Seahawks plan to waive running back Kenny McIntosh, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.
McIntosh currently is on the active/physically unable to perform list. He tore the ACL in his left knee during a training camp practice 366 days ago.
The Seahawks made McIntosh a seventh-round pick in 2023, and he injured his knee in his first training camp. He played only 13 special teams snaps in three games as a rookie.
In 2024, McIntosh appeared in every game, playing 75 offensive snaps and 173 on special teams. He rushed for 172 yards on 31 carries and caught three passes for 22 yards, while returning six kickoffs for 153 yards.
The Seahawks drafted Jadarian Price in the first round and signed Emanuel Wilson in free agency. Eventually, Zach Charbonnet will return from his torn ACL.

The Seattle Seahawks will officially begin training camp with a veterans reporting date of July 24. John Schneider's rookie class reports to Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton one week earlier on July 17, giving them a chance to acclimate to their first professional camp. Head coach Mike Macdonald is expected to promote competition as the Seahawks prepare to defend their Super Bowl 60 triumph.
With so much on the line, we've identified three Seahawks players with everything to gain at training camp.
George Holani will enter training camp as the most-tenured running back available. The 2024 undrafted free agent will attempt to fend off rookie Jadarian Price. With Zach Charbonnet still recovering from a torn ACL injury, there's loads of opportunity up for grabs in the backfield. Can Holani be the Week 1 starter?
Tory Horton scored six touchdowns as a rookie (five receiving, one return) despite only playing in eight games and making 13 catches. The former Colorado State standout was extremely efficient before being sidelined with a season-ending injury. Can Horton work his way back into the rotation behind Cooper Kupp, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Rashid Shaheed?
Tyrice Knight did not enjoy the sophomore campaign he envisioned it'd be. An offseason injury limited his impact and eventually allowed Drake Thomas to firmly surpass him on the depth chart. Knight should enter camp with designs on forcing Thomas into another competition for the starting role opposite Ernest Jones IV.
