Seahawks face questions at running back after Kenneth Walker III departure
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks, reigning Super Bowl champions, head into the 2026 NFL season with concerns in their running back position. Kenneth Walker III has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, while Zach Charbonnet is sidelined for the early part of the season due to a torn ACL. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani are among the options for the team, but first-round pick Jadarian Price may need to take on a larger role. Price has expressed confidence in his ability to handle significant carries, aiming to prove himself as the primary running back until Charbonnet returns. Training camp will be pivotal for evaluating the running back group.
