Seahawks face running back challenges entering 2026 season
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks will start the 2026 season against the New England Patriots, following their 2025 Super Bowl victory. The team must address the absence of Kenneth Walker III, now with the Kansas City Chiefs, and the potential sidelining of co-starter Zach Charbonnet due to knee surgery. Rookie Jadarian Price, along with Emmanuel Wilson and George Holani, will be tapped to fill the running back roles. Analysts raise concerns over the impact of this reshuffled backfield on Seattle’s performance in the upcoming season.
