Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani enters the 2026 season as a key depth option for the team's offensive backfield. Holani currently sits behind rookie Jadarian Price on the depth chart to begin the campaign. The team's running back rotation faces early instability due to an injury sidelined starter Zach Charbonnet. Holani brings a combination of physical running and elusiveness to the Seahawks' scheme, providing versatility in the backfield. Should he perform well with his early touches, he remains in position to maintain a meaningful workload throughout the remainder of the 17-game season. The organization continues to evaluate the distribution of carries as the roster adjusts to the current health status of its primary ball carriers.
