Not exactly confidence-inducing coachspeak. With Kenneth Walker III vacating the premises and Zach Charbonnet’s February ACL surgery leaving the backfield in a state of absolute triage, Mike Macdonald is desperately hoping Emanuel Wilson and Day 2 rookies fill the team’s massive early-season RB void.

Charbonnet rumbled for 730 yards and 12 scores last year, but his 3.8 True Yards Per Carry (#49) and 22.1-percent Juke Rate (#32) scream “volume-dependent grinder” rather than a high-octane efficiency engine. He’s a stone-cold lock to open 2026 on the PUP list, and the Seahawks are telegraphing that they’re ready to pivot to a fresh set of legs in the NFL Draft.
