Overview

  • Kenny McIntosh suffered a left-leg injury during a special-teams open-field drill at the Seahawks’ Renton practice and was carried off unable to bear weight
  • Team sources and ESPN’s Adam Schefter report the injury is suspected to be an ACL tear pending MRI confirmation
  • McIntosh had been competing for the No. 3 running back role behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet and was also a leading candidate for kickoff returns
  • The third-year back was a seventh-round pick in 2023 and posted 172 rushing yards on 31 carries along with a 25.5-yard average on six kickoff returns in 2024
  • Coach Mike Macdonald’s ground-focused offensive scheme now faces fresh depth challenges in both the backfield and special teams
