Seahawks work out running back Anthony Hankerson after injury issues

Summary

The Seattle Seahawks worked out running back Anthony Hankerson on August 16, 2026, following injuries to several players in their backfield. The Seahawks faced the Dallas Cowboys in a preseason game without multiple key backs, resulting in a 17-7 loss. Hankerson, a 22-year-old who was waived by Miami earlier this month, had back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons at Oregon State. His recent college performance and availability make him a candidate as Seattle addresses its depth at running back ahead of roster cuts.
