Lost for the season, the Seahawks placed Kenny McIntosh on injured reserve, replacing him on the roster with one of college football’s most prolific punt returners from last season.

Likely ending his season before it even began, the Seahawks already have taken a massive hit in the backfield with Kenny McIntosh succumbing to a knee injury at Saturday’s fourth training camp practice.

Few teams have invested more in the running back position than the Seahawks have in the past four years, but the on-field results haven’t matched those investments. The onus will fall on a new coaching staff and scheme to bring out the best in Ken Walker III and company in 2025.

Only so much can be learned about an NFL team in non-padded practices, but that doesn’t mean some questions about the Seahawks weren’t answered over the past three weeks during OTAs and mandatory minicamp, including having a ways to go for the offense to level up to the defense.

With three veteran backs returning and an exciting rookie in Damien Martinez joining the mix, the Seahawks have as much talent at running back as any team in the NFC. But will that talent translate to better production in Klint Kubiak’s offense?

With OTAs set to kick off next month, the Seahawks have several intriguing competitions set to commence both for starting roles and roster spots. Who has the inside track for a roster spot in September?

Adding another coach to the staff with prior ties to Klint Kubiak, the Seahawks continue to prioritize fixing their run game heading towards the 2025 season.
