Kenny McIntosh Kenny McIntosh Likely to be cut
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 8:17 PM
The Seahawks are expected to waive McIntosh, who is continuing to recover from a torn ACL, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: McIntosh saw action in all 17 of Seattle's regular-season games in 2024 but tore his ACL during training camp last July and spent the entire campaign on IR. He was placed on the active/PUP list last Wednesday and hasn't yet been able to practice during training camp. It appears Seattle will ultimately elect to part ways with McIntosh, who had been expected to compete for depth reps in the team's backfield in 2026. |

George Holani George Holani Alternating with first team
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 1:51 PM
Holani and rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price have split first-team reps during the early days of training camp, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Holani was often the first RB up for first-team reps during OTAs, and at this stage he and Price appear to have cemented themselves atop the depth chart, with Zach Charbonnet (ACL) on the active/PUP list and Emanuel Wilson seemingly in a depth role. Seahawks coaches have reportedly stressed Price growing as a pass catcher, but unless the rookie is able to make rapid improvements throughout camp, Holani could be the favorite for third-down reps come Week 1. The early-season workload split beyond that point seems like it will come down to a true competition between Price and Holani, though once Charbonnet is cleared to return Seattle could end up deploying all three to some extent. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Splitting first-team reps
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 12:24 PM
Price is sharing first-team backfield work with George Holani early in Seahawks training camp, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Price appears to be focusing on improvements in the passing game to begin his NFL career. Despite Price's first-round draft capital and superior burst, Holani has earned enough trust over his years with Seattle to manufacture a real competition for opportunities in the receiving game. With Zach Charbonnet (ACL) still working his way back from knee surgery and having begun camp on the active/PUP list, Price has a clear path to a significant role Week 1 if he can separate from Holani during camp. Emanuel Wilson, meanwhile, appears to be trending toward a depth role. |

AJ Barner AJ Barner On field at camp
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 9:28 AM
Barner (undisclosed) is participating in the start of Seattle's training camp, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 reports.
Analysis: Barner's availability to open camp is a positive early sign after he missed offseason workouts due to a pair of undisclosed surgeries. The 2024 fourth-rounder is looking to defend his role as the Seahawks' clear top tight end in a room that also includes second-year option Elijah Arroyo. Barner started all 17 regular-season games in 2025, totaling 52 catches (on 68 targets) for 519 yards and six touchdowns. |

Tory Horton Tory Horton Back for camp
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 9:00 AM
Horton (shin/groin) was back on the field for Seattle's first training-camp practice Sunday, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Horton's return is a notable step after he was held out of 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills during offseason team activities. Though his promising rookie year was cut short, he flashed touchdown upside on limited volume with five receiving scores and a punt-return touchdown across just eight regular-season games. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed still give Seattle a crowded receiver room, but Horton now has a full camp to push for a rotational role and maintain deep-league relevance. |

Uncertainty about Week 1 status
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 5:42 PM
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald responded "I don't know" Saturday when asked about Emmanwori's (ankle) potential availability for Week 1 of the regular season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: An earlier report by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com indicated that Emmanwori would likely be ready to go by the regular-season opener, but there's reason to be at least a little less optimistic about that scenario following Macdonald's comments. Per Bell, Macdonald also confirmed that the surgery Emmanwori underwent recently was tied to the sprained ankle he suffered four days before Super Bowl LX. While the standout defensive back doesn't currently have a definitive timeline to return to the field, Macdonald indicated that Emmanwori isn't dealing with a serious, long-term issue. |

Nick Vannett Nick Vannett Rejoining Seattle
Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 3:29 PM
The Seahawks signed Vannett to a contract Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Vannett most recently spent time with the Vikings and Rams during the 2025 regular season and also played in Los Angeles' NFC wild-card win over the Panthers. While the veteran tight end was primarily deployed on special teams, he did log a total of 55 snaps from scrimmage across 10 regular-season games between his two stops. In his return to the team that selected him in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Vannett is expected to fill a similar role as a depth option at tight end. |

Has surgery on ankle
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 7:50 PM
Emmanwori is expected to be ready for Week 1 after undergoing surgery on his right ankle ahead of training camp, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's anticipated that Emmanwori will miss some time during camp as he recovers from the procedure, but at this point, it seems like it won't keep him out of any regular-season game action. Until he can get back onto the practice field, free agent acquisition Noah Igbinoghene could see some work in the secondary with the first team. |

Zach Charbonnet Zach Charbonnet Placed on PUP list
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 11:54 AM
The Seahawks have placed Charbonnet (knee) on the physically unable to perform list ahead of training camp, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The move doesn't come as a surprise, as Charbonnet is coming back from February knee surgery. While a timetable has yet to be outlined for his return, coach Mike Macdonald has been impressed by the work that the running back has been putting in during his rehab process. "He's doing a great job," Macdonald said of Charbonnet last month. "I know he has high expectations for himself, and we're looking forward to seeing where it ends up." At this stage, the expectation is that Charbonnet will miss time out of the gate this season, but once he's ready to return to game action, the 2023 second-rounder will look to claim a key role in a Seahawks RB corps that no longer includes Kenneth Walker. For now, Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are the team's top healthy options at the position. |

Kenny McIntosh Kenny McIntosh Placed on PUP list
Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 3:24 PM
The Seahawks placed McIntosh (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: McIntosh is continuing to recover from a left ACL tear suffered last July, and it appears the issue will cause him to miss at least the early portion of training camp. Once he's healthy enough to practice, though, McIntosh will be eligible to come off the PUP list at any point during camp. If he were to need more time to recover late when rosters are reduced to 53 players in late August, though, McIntosh would have to miss at least four regular-season games on the reserve/PUP list. |

Designated for PUP list
Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 3:19 PM
The Seahawks placed Broden (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Broden appears to still be working his way back from the undisclosed issue that caused him to end last season on the practice squad injured list. Once healthy enough to practice, he'll be eligible to be activated from the PUP list at any point during training camp. |

Placed on PUP list
Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 3:16 PM
The Seahawks placed Emmanwori (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Emmanwori was on the field for spring and summer offseason workouts, but he now appears to be dealing with an injury in advance of training camp. Once he's deemed healthy enough to resume practicing, Emmanwori will be eligible to come off the PUP list at any point during training camp. The 2025 second-round pick totaled 81 tackles (56 solo), 2.5 sacks, 11 pass breakups and an interception across 14 regular-season appearances as a rookie. |

Lands on PUP list
Sat, Jul 18, 2026, 3:46 PM
The Seahawks placed Eastern (undisclosed) on the Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A seventh-round pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, Eastern had missed parts of minicamp and OTAs due to an unspecified injury. By being placed on the PUP, Eastern is eligible to be activated at any time during training camp once he's fully healthy. The nature of the Minnesota product's injury might become more clear once the Seahawks conduct their first practice of training camp July 25. |

Jason Myers Jason Myers Returns as Seattle's top kicker
Mon, Jul 13, 2026, 12:03 PM
As the coming season approaches, Myers is set to retain his role as the Seahawks' top kicker, Michael Hanich of SI.com reports.
Analysis: In that role with the defending Super Bowl champions, Myers racked up a career high and league-leading 171 points in 2025, while making 41 of his 48 field-goal attempts and all 48 of his extra-point tries in 17 regular-season contests. Looking ahead to the coming campaign, the 35-year-old -- who currently is the only kicker on his team's roster -- should maintain a solid enough weekly floor working behind the Seahawks offense to maintain fantasy viability in 2026, even if he sees a modest reduction in terms of volume. |

Elijah Arroyo Elijah Arroyo Chance for larger Year 2 role
Wed, Jul 8, 2026, 8:37 PM
Arroyo will enter training camp as a candidate to secure an expanded role on offense with the Seahawks, Justin Melo of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Arroyo is expected to see more opportunities in 2026 after catching 15 passes for 179 yards and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games as a rookie. AJ Barner remains atop Seattle's depth chart, but Arroyo's athleticism gives him a path to increased usage in passing situations and two-tight end sets. Injuries limited Arroyo's involvement last season, so better health could be all the 2025 second-rounder requires to take a notable step forward. |

Cooper Kupp Cooper Kupp Back for Year 2 with Seattle
Mon, Jul 6, 2026, 1:10 PM
As the coming season approaches, Kupp is line to reprise a key role in a Seahawks wide receiver corps led by reigning Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Justin Melo of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Smith-Njigba led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards in 17 regular-season games last season, with Kupp finishing a distant second on the team in that category with 593 yards (on 47 catches) through 16 contests. Those marks were well off the volume/production level that made Kupp a high-rated fantasy option earlier in his career, but looking ahead, the 33-year-old should maintain enough of a complementary role behind Smith-Njigba (in a Seattle passing game that also features fellow WR Rashid Shaheed and TE AJ Barner) to merit lineup consideration in deeper fantasy formats. |

Rashid Shaheed Rashid Shaheed Bigger role in 2026?
Sun, Jun 28, 2026, 1:46 PM
Shaheed had a "major spring" in offseason programs and could have a larger role in the Seahawks' offense under coordinator Brian Fleury, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports
Analysis: Fowler notes that the Seahawks' offense will utilize more motions and shifts under Fleury's scheme and that Shaheed should see more short-to-medium throws from Sam Darnold as a result. Shaheed and Darnold demonstrated a strong connection during spring practices, and it appears the former is in line for a larger role in the offense, perhaps leapfrogging Cooper Kupp as the team's WR2 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Approaches Year 2 with Seattle
Thu, Jun 25, 2026, 2:52 PM
Darnold notes that cleaning up his footwork and reducing his turnovers are among his goals heading into the 2026 season, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: In his first year with the Seahawks, Darnold helmed his team's Super Bowl LX win over the Patriots, but despite that success the veteran QB acknowledges that there's still work to be done in terms of "continuing to hone in on the deep ball" as well as understanding how he can get better that way by "quieting (his) feet in the pocket." Darnold -- who threw for 4,048 yards and 25 TDs in 17 regular-season games in 2025 -- also points to his 20 regular-season turnovers (14 interceptions and six fumbles lost) as an area that he can improve. Looking ahead to the coming campaign, the 29-year-old will be working with a pass-catching corps that returns WRs Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed and TE AJ Barner. Following the free-agent departure of RB Kenneth Walker, the team added Jadarian Price in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to bolster a backfield that awaits the recovery of Zach Charbonnet, who's bouncing back from a torn ACL. |

Zach Charbonnet Zach Charbonnet Progressing well in recovery
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 11:14 AM
Coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Charbonnet continues to do a "great job" in his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered during the divisional-round of last season's playoffs, Cameron Van Til of Seattle Sports reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Charbonnet, who underwent surgery to repair his left knee Feb. 20, did some conditioning work during Tuesday's minicamp practice. Given the timing of his procedure, the expectation has been that Charbonnet will miss time out of the gate this coming season, and in that scenario 2026 first-round pick Jadarian Price, as well as George Holani and Emanuel Wilson, would be in line to handle Seattle's backfield duties come Week 1. However, when asked if there's a chance Charbonnet could be ready by the start of the season, Macdonald said Wednesday, "Everything's possible." Either way, Charbonnet's progress will be worth monitoring closely as the summer rolls along, and once he's ready to return to game action, the 2023 second-rounder will have an opportunity to claim a key role in a Seahawks RB corps that no longer includes Kenneth Walker, who led the team with 221 carries in 2025. |

Tory Horton Tory Horton Won't participate during minicamp
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 6:21 PM
Coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Horton (shin) is expected to return to the practice field during training camp, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Macdonald said that "it's all positive" with Horton. He evidently isn't quite ready for football activities just yet, but it doesn't sound like he has suffered any true setback in his recovery. Until he's back to full strength, Jake Bobo is a candidate to see increased work as minicamp continues. |
