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, we should expect McIntosh to remain on the bench once again.

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, we should expect McIntosh to remain on the bench once again.
McIntosh suited up for his first NFL game on Thanksgiving because Kenneth Walker (oblique) was inactive. There was some hope that McIntosh could get some work on offense, especially as a pass-catcher if the Seahawks fell behind early, but Zach Charbonnet handled 87 percent of the offensive snaps while DeeJay Dallas picked up the rest. McIntosh could end up being a healthy scratch again in Week 13 against the Cowboys if Walker returns.
McIntosh was moved off IR last weekend following a knee injury, though he didn't play Week 10 against Washington. The rookie appears to be past the knee issue since he came into this weekend without an injury designation, but he still won't make his NFL debut versus Los Angeles. McIntosh's next opportunity to play will come Thanksgiving Day against San Francisco.
McIntosh was activated off injured reserve Saturday after sitting out the first nine weeks of the season with a knee sprain. However, he'll ultimately have to wait to make his NFL debut, as the team will wait before sending him into game action. The rookie running back's next opportunity to play will come Sunday, Nov. 19 against the Rams. In the meantime, DeeJay Dallas should continue to add depth behind top running backs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
Carroll's comments would suggest that Seattle is preparing to designate McIntosh for return from the injured reserve list this week. If that's the case, he could make his NFL debut as soon as Sunday versus Cleveland.
