Seahawks' Damien Martinez: Seven carries in preseason finale
Martinez rushed the ball seven times for 24 yards in Seattle's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers on Saturday. He added two receptions on two targets for 14 yards.
The Seahawks rested all of their starters and many of their top backups as well. That gave Martinez the chance to start, though it also made clear that he is fourth on the depth chart at best. That could put him on the roster bubble as cutdown day nears.

Seahawks' Damien Martinez: Scores in preseason win
Martinez rushed 11 times for 50 yards and a score in Friday's 33-16 preseason win over the Chiefs. He also caught two passes for 14 yards.
Martinez was the third running back in the pecking order after Zach Charbonnet and George Holani -- who rushed five times for 49 yards. Kenneth Walker rested once again. Martinez broke off a 19-yard run in the first quarter and scored in the third quarter before taking the rest of the night off. At this time, the rookie seventh-round pick is on track to make the roster as the No. 4 running back.

Seahawks' Damien Martinez: Outplayed by Holani
Martinez rushed six times for 10 yards and caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Raiders. He also totaled 25 yards on two kickoff returns.
Martinez was the second running back into the game after George Holani, who had 81 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on eight touches. Holani has the early lead in the competition for the third spot on Seattle's running back depth chart behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, and the gap between him and Martinez likely grew Thursday. Martinez will try to make up some ground in the next preseason game against the Chiefs on Aug. 15.

Seahawks' Damien Martinez: Seeking No. 3 role
Martinez is competing for the No. 3 running back role after Kenny McIntosh suffered a torn ACL on Monday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
A seventh-round rookie, Martinez had a chance to push McIntosh for the role anyway, and now he's now competing for the role with George Holani, Jacardia Wright and D.K. Kaufman. Martinez entered the NFL after three standout college seasons where he compiled 3,169 yards and 26 touchdowns on the ground across three seasons between Miami and Oregon State. With Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet healthy to start training camp, there are limited offensive reps available, but Martinez could carve out a role as a pass catcher, something he showed modest improvement on as a junior with 17 catches (22 targets) for 204 yards through 13 games.

Seahawks' Damien Martinez: Taken by Seattle in seventh round
The Seahawks selected Martinez in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 223rd overall.
Martinez was the lead back for Miami in 2024 after spending the prior two seasons at Oregon State. He led the Hurricanes with 1,002 yards and 10 touchdowns on 159 carries and added 17 catches for 204 yards across 13 games (10 starts). Martinez runs with authority and will gain yards after contact, but he lacks the burst and elusiveness to make defenders miss in the second level. He'll likely compete with Kenny McIntosh and George Holani for the Seahawks' RB3 job behind Kenneth Walker (ankle) and Zach Charbonnet.
