The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks continue to shape their running‑back group after the departure of MVP Kenneth Walker III and the season‑ending ACL injury to Zach Charbonnet. By late July, the team had integrated roughly 30 % new personnel, relying on first‑round rookie Jadarian Price, veteran George Holani and backup Emanuel Wilson while weighing free‑agent Najee Harris as additional depth. 

Training camp in early August intensified the backfield battle. Price, despite ball‑security concerns, is expected to share carries, and Holani has emerged as a “camp surprise,” positioning himself as a potential RB2 or larger role. Charbonnet remains on the PUP list, missing the start of the campaign. The Seahawks’ roster construction and injury management aim to preserve a productive rushing attack for the 2026 season.
