Seattle Seahawks address backfield uncertainty following departure of Kenneth Walker III

The Seattle Seahawks enter their Super Bowl defense facing significant backfield adjustments after Kenneth Walker III signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. Further complicating the roster, Zach Charbonnet remains on the physically unable to perform list following an ACL injury suffered in last year’s playoffs. Head coach Mike Macdonald plans to utilize a committee approach to manage the running game. This strategy involves rookie Jadarian Price, who was selected in the first round, alongside George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, and Kenny McIntosh. With the running game in flux, the offense may lean more heavily on Sam Darnold and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to sustain the passing attack. Seattle currently prepares for its season opener while evaluating which players will handle the increased workload.
