McIntosh is coming back from a torn ACL suffered just before training camp in 2025, and he will compete for a role in Seattle's backfield. McIntosh is not worth drafting in any Fantasy leagues this season. While the Seahawks lost Kenneth Walker III to free agency, and Zach Charbonnet (knee) is also coming off a torn ACL, Seattle added two running backs in Jadarian Price and Emanuel Wilson who will sit atop the depth chart. Along with George Holani, all three should be ahead of McIntosh to open the season, and he has a lot to prove before Fantasy managers can trust him.

Kenny McIntosh: Enters free agency healthy
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) was listed as passing his physical and going unclaimed on waivers Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
McIntosh was not picked up by another club after being waived by Seattle on Monday, but he's evidently healthy and ready to suit up for any team willing to sign him. He missed the entire 2025 season due to a torn ACL he suffered during training camp last year.

Kenny McIntosh: Officially waived
Rotowire
Seattle waived McIntosh (knee) on Monday.
McIntosh missed all of last season while recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee and began training camp this year on the active/PUP list. It's unclear how far along he is in his recovery, but the Seahawks have decided to part ways with the 2023 seventh-round draft pick. All of McIntosh's offensive production to this point as a pro came in 2024, when he played in all 17 regular-season games and rushed 31 times for 172 yards and no scores while catching three of four targets for 22 yards. His 5.5 YPC that season and contributions on special teams, including as a kick returner, could be attractive to other clubs if McIntosh is able to show at some point that he's back to full health.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Likely to be cut
Rotowire
The Seahawks are expected to waive McIntosh, who is continuing to recover from a torn ACL, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
McIntosh saw action in all 17 of Seattle's regular-season games in 2024 but tore his ACL during training camp last July and spent the entire campaign on IR. He was placed on the active/PUP list last Wednesday and hasn't yet been able to practice during training camp. It appears Seattle will ultimately elect to part ways with McIntosh, who had been expected to compete for depth reps in the team's backfield in 2026.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Placed on PUP list
Rotowire
The Seahawks placed McIntosh (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
McIntosh is continuing to recover from a left ACL tear suffered last July, and it appears the issue will cause him to miss at least the early portion of training camp. Once he's healthy enough to practice, though, McIntosh will be eligible to come off the PUP list at any point during camp. If he were to need more time to recover late when rosters are reduced to 53 players in late August, though, McIntosh would have to miss at least four regular-season games on the reserve/PUP list.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Back for training camp?
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) is not participating in Seattle's OTAs but is hopeful to return in time for training camp, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports.
McIntosh missed all of the Seahawks' 2025 campaign due to a torn ACL suffered during training camp, but the hope is for him to return in late July. The Georgia product appeared in all 17 of Seattle's regular-season games in 2024, rushing 31 times for 172 yards and catching three of his four targets for 22 yards. Once fully healthy, McIntosh could play a larger role in a crowded Seahawks backfield that includes rookie Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and Zach Charbonnet (knee), who is not expected to return until midseason.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: May have torn ACL
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) likely tore an ACL during practice Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Further testing needs to be done to confirm McIntosh's diagnosis, but the initial expectation is that the third-year RB suffered a major knee injury. If he did indeed tear an ACL, McIntosh would almost certainly need to miss the entire 2025 campaign. That would be a blow both to Seattle's running-back corps -- McIntosh was slated to be the team's No. 3 RB -- and to its special-teams unit, as he was expected to work as a kick returner as well. If McIntosh is unable to play this year, seventh-round rookie Damien Martinez could be asked to take on the third-RB role behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, while Steven Sims could handle lead kick-return duties.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Rushes three times in loss
Rotowire
McIntosh rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Packers.
With Kenneth Walker (calf/ankle) out of the lineup, McIntosh served as Zach Chabonnet's primary backup while George Holani generated 10 yards on three carries as the No. 3 back. It's unclear if Walker will play in Week 16 versus the Vikings, but McIntosh's fantasy value is negligible regardless.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Potential for more opportunities
Rotowire
McIntosh could handle additional reps in Sunday's game versus the Cardinals because Kenneth Walker (ankle/calf) has been ruled out.
Zach Charbonnet is expected to be the primary back, much like he was in Weeks 2 and 3 when Walker was inactive. During those games, McIntosh played 11 offensive snaps and carried the ball three times for 11 yards. Thus, McIntosh still shouldn't be started in most formats, but he's worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues in case Walker's injury lingers.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Three carries in win
Rotowire
McIntosh rushed three times for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Dolphins.
McIntosh received the first regular-season touches of his career in the big win over Miami. He likely won't play much in close games going forward, especially if Kenneth Walker (oblique) returns in Week 5 versus the Lions.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: No offensive reps in win
Rotowire
McIntosh didn't play on offense in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.
No. 1 running back Kenneth Walker left in the fourth quarter with an abdominal injury, and Zach Charbonnet carried the entire backfield workload the rest of the game. Walker's status for the Week 2 matchup versus the Patriots is in flux as a result, and if he misses time, McIntosh should line up as the clear No. 2 back behind Charbonnet.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Long TD run in preseason win
Rotowire
McIntosh rushed once for a 56-yard touchdown and secured his only target for a nine-yard gain in the Seahawks' 37-33 preseason win over the Browns on Saturday night.
The reserve running back recorded his only carry on the Seahawks' third possession, a drive he closed out with an impressive 56-yard scoring scamper off left guard. The touchdown run was the latest example of impressive play from McIntosh, who put together a strong preseason and appears to have the inside track to open the regular season as the No. 3 back behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet (undisclosed).

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Makes case to stick as third RB
Rotowire
McIntosh rushed the ball eight times for 46 yards in Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans. He added two receptions (on two targets) for 17 yards.
McIntosh is reportedly being pushed for the third spot on the depth chart by George Holani, though he got the better end of that competition Saturday. With Kenneth Walker resting and Zach Charbonnet (undisclosed) unavailable, McIntosh got the first touch out of the backfield and also led the team in both attempts and rushing yards. In addition to the volume, McIntosh showed some impressive physicality and had a long gain of 12 yards on the ground while also tacking on a 10-yard reception.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Battling for No. 3 role
Rotowire
McIntosh is competing with undrafted rookie George Holani for the Seahawks' No. 3 running back spot, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
McIntosh seemed like the front-runner for the role heading into the offseason, but Holani has stood out in preseason as a rusher and a blocker and could claim the job. Last season, Mcintosh didn't play an offensive snap as he was stuck behind Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas. The No. 3 role isn't expected to provide much fantasy utility as long as Walker and Charbonnet are healthy.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Still no offensive run
Rotowire
McIntosh didn't play an offensive snap in Thursday's 41-35 loss to the Cowboys.
Head coach Pete Carroll hinted towards some offensive work for the seventh-round rookie this week with Kenneth Walker (oblique) still out, but Zach Charbonnet (knee) operated as the workhorse while DeeJay Dallas picked up the rest of the reps. Charbonnet's injury doesn't sound too serious, and if he's back for Week 14 versus the 49ers, McIntosh will likely remain on the bench once again.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Chance to debut Sunday
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
McIntosh has yet to make his NFL debut, as he suffered a knee injury in August and has spent the majority of the year on injured reserve. Head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Friday that the rookie running back is physically ready to play, but he's not sure if he wants to make the move to activate him to the team's active roster just yet, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) was not listed on the injury report Thursday after practicing in full Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
McIntosh remains on injured reserve even after being designated to return Oct. 25 and practicing last week. The 2023 seventh-round pick is fourth on Seattle's running back depth chart behind DeeJay Dallas, who returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Not returning yet
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) was not activated off injured reserve Saturday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The Seahawks still have two weeks to activate McIntosh off IR after the rookie was designated to return to practice earlier this week, so there doesn't seem to be much of a rush. Expect Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and Deejay Dallas to once again all factor in the backfield.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Status unclear for Week 9
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) was listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus the Ravens, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
McIntosh was designated to return to practice Wednesday after spending the first eight weeks of the season on IR with a knee injury. While the 23-year-old was a full participant in each practice Week 9, it appears he may not be fully ready to suit up for Sunday's game against Baltimore. McIntosh will also need to be activated to the 53-man roster in order to suit up against the Ravens, though he'd likely see little offensive playing time with fellow running backs Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas all healthy.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Cleared to practice
Rotowire
The Seahawks designated McIntosh (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
McIntosh was a limited participant in the team's practice Wednesday and has a chance to play Sunday against the Browns. The rookie seventh-round pick could be involved in Seattle's offense from the get-go as both Kenneth Walker (calf) and Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) are dealing with injuries.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Will wait to make debut
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
After sustaining a sprained knee back in early August, McIntosh will now be sidelined for Seattle's matchup in Week 1. Even when healthy, it's hard to imagine him getting any volume of touches as long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are active.
