Michael-Shawn Dugar from The Athletic insists Kenny McIntosh “should get an opportunity” to be Seattle’s lead back while Zach Charbonnet rehabs a torn ACL.
Dugar believes a healthy McIntosh is as talented as any running back on Seattle’s roster despite missing the 2025 season with his own ACL tear. He remains a viable deep dynasty flier, though his true value depends on whether the Seahawks draft backfield competition.

Running back Kenny McIntosh had to be assisted off the field today at Seattle Seahawks training camp. McIntosh went down during a special teams portion of practice and couldn’t put any weight on his leg.
It’s feared that McIntosh suffered a torn ACL, the team said that further testing will be needed to confirm the severity of the injury. McIntosh was expected to once again be Seattle’s third string running back.
McIntosh didn’t have very much fantasy relevance and has been mostly going undrafted. Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet will lead Seattle’s backfield again, if McIntosh is done for the season the team will likely look for running back depth but whoever it is will not have much fantasy relevance.

Great news for Charbonnet, who was expected to miss a significant amount of time. The 2nd-Round rookie out of UCLA returned to rep with the First Team O alongside DeeJay Dallas and rookie 7th-Rounder Kenny McIntosh while Kenneth Walker was out.
Bas on initial reports it appeared as though KW3 would be back on the field before Charbonnet. Walker is still expected back in short order and his Week 1 status is not believed to be in jeopardy. Walker is PlayerProfiler’s 35th ranked player in re-draft entering 2023.
