Seahawks plan running back committee approach for 2026 season
Summary

As the Seattle Seahawks prepare for the 2026 NFL season, they are implementing a committee approach in their running back room following the departure of Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet's injury. Jadarian Price, their first-round rookie, is expected to lead alongside free-agent signing Emanuel Wilson and returning back George Holani. Head coach Mike Macdonald stated that the rotation will involve two to three backs during games, reflecting a strategy used last season. This setup may vary by game, particularly with Charbonnet yet to return. Price's performance in the preseason will be crucial in determining his role moving forward into the regular season.
