Seahawks waive former Georgia running back

The Seattle Seahawks have waived running back Kenny McIntosh, a former Georgia Bulldog. McIntosh won Super Bowl 60 with the Seahawks last season, but it was bittersweet because McIntosh tore his ACL prior to the 2025 NFL season, so he watched Seattle’s triumphant season from the sidelines.

McIntosh was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on July 20. Seattle elected to waive McIntosh, which means he is likely not healthy yet. McIntosh was expected to make $1.1 million in 2026 and was entering a contract year. He will now hope to find a new niche in the NFL.

McIntosh was a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He’s appeared in 20 career NFL games including all 17 in 2024. McIntosh has 31 carries for 172 yards in his NFL career. He won national titles at Georgia in 2021 and 2022. McIntosh notably had 126 total yards and a touchdown in Georgia’s comeback win over Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Seattle is also placing running back Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list. Charbonnet tore his ACL during Seattle’s playoff run and is seeking to return in Week 1.

The Seahawks drafted Jadarian Price in the first-round of the 2026 NFL draft to help fill the void with Charbonnet possibly out and Kenneth Walker leaving via free agency. Seattle also has backup running backs George Holani and Emanuel Wilson.
