Kenny McIntosh: Everything you need to know

The Seahawks placed McIntosh (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. McIntosh was trying to defend his role from last year as the team's No. 3 running back, but his season will end before it started due to an ACL tear in the opening days of training camp. Damien Martinez and George Holani are now the favorites for the No. 3 job behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

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.

McIntosh suffered a leg injury during Seattle's practice Saturday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. McIntosh had to be helped off the field after suffering a leg injury during a special-teams drill Saturday. The 25-year-old was unable to put any weight on his left leg following the injury and should he be forced to miss extended time, Steven Sims could takeover his role as the team's primary kick returner.
