The Seattle Seahawks ' running back situation is going to be a training camp battle to watch. But on Monday, the uncertainty did become a little clearer. Following practice on Monday, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald announced the team planned to waive fourth year running back Kenny McIntosh , and eventually went through with it later that day.
Kenny McIntosh was originally a seventh round pick in the 2023 NFL draft and made the roster in both 2023 and 2024. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL last summer and missed the entirety of the 2025 Super Bowl season. He began this year's training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Apparently, the Seahawks do not feel they have a roster spot to carry him with at this time.

McIntosh only played in three games his rookie year, but did make an appearance in all 17 in 2024. He flashed potential as a power back with 172 yards on 31 total carries. However, he made most of his damage in the final two games of the year that season. McIntosh had 46 yards in a 6-3 win over Chicago , then 49 the following week in the season finale 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams .
Just because a player is waived doesn't mean it's necessarily the end of the line for a player with a team, but for the time being McIntosh will no longer be a Seahawk. It is a disappointing end, as the flashes he showed in 2024 led many fans to believe he had plenty to offer given the opportunity.
That being said, if the Seahawks are cutting ties with McIntosh at this time, perhaps it suggests they are happy with what they have in Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson .
