Overview

  • George Holani tallied seven carries for 61 yards and a touchdown while also making a special teams tackle in Seattle’s 23-23 preseason opener against the Raiders.
  • Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald praised Holani’s work ethic and versatility, calling attention to his “all-around” contributions.
  • Top-10 draft pick Ashton Jeanty managed minus-one rushing yard on three carries and went untested in the passing game, intensifying scrutiny of his rookie outlook.
  • Las Vegas’ offensive line struggles resurfaced in the matchup as Jeanty had limited room to operate behind a unit that ranked in the league’s bottom half in run-block win rate.
  • The preseason showcase has positioned Holani as a contender for Seattle’s final roster spots and underscored the high stakes of summer games for undrafted players.
