Seahawks Waive Running Back Kenny McIntosh

The move removes an injured roster contender, giving healthy backs extended practice reps as Seattle evaluates rookie Jadarian Price and free-agent Emanuel Wilson for early-season carries.

Overview

  • The Seahawks confirmed late Tuesday that they waived running back Kenny McIntosh after ESPN’s Brady Henderson first reported the team planned the move.
  • McIntosh had opened camp on the active/physically unable to perform list while rehabbing the torn ACL he suffered on July 26, 2025, which cost him the entire 2025 season.
  • Seattle’s backfield picture has shifted this offseason after the club drafted Jadarian Price with the final pick of the first round and signed Emanuel Wilson, leaving George Holani as another available option while Zach Charbonnet remains on PUP.
  • McIntosh was a 2023 seventh-round pick whose pro career included an early rookie injury and mostly special-teams work in 2024, when he totaled 31 carries for 172 yards and three receptions for 22 yards.
  • The roster move immediately frees camp reps for Price, Wilson and Holani and also leaves McIntosh to seek a fresh opportunity once he proves his health; the PUP designation means injured players must clear specific rehab and activation timelines before returning to game duty.
