The Seattle Seahawks announced four roster moves on Saturday that will impact today’s game against the Washington Commanders.
Here’s a quick review of yesterday’s transactions.
Here’s the updated 53-man roster by jersey number going into tomorrow’s game against the Cleveland Browns.
The Seahawks are serious about making a deep postseason run this year. Just hours after their home win over the Browns, Seattle pulled off a trade that should help them get there. The front office has sent a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-rounder to the Giants in exchange for Leonard Williams, one of the top interior pass rushers in the league.
To make room for Wiliams, the Seahawks have waived wide receiver Cody Thompson. Our roster tracker is now updated (Oct. 31).
How does the Seahawks look health wise going into Sunday’s matchup
The Cleveland Browns 2023 season marches on as the road trip continues in Seattle against the Seahawks. The Browns will be without Deshaun Watson again as P.J. Walker and the offense try to solve their passing attack. It’ll be easier to get some solutions this week if the Seahawks safety Jamal Adams misses this game as he and wide receiver Tyler Lockett are both questionable.
Adams and Lockett are both on the injury report against the Browns. Running back Kenny Mcintosh and defensive tackle Austin Faoliu have already been ruled out with guard Phil Haynes being listed as doubtful.
Missing Tyler Lockett could be huge for the Browns because when he is out there it creates an interesting and talented trio of wide receivers. Either way, if either Lockett or Adams misses the game it would be a big loss let alone if they were both out. Cleveland is looking to get to 5-2 to start the season as the team waits for their franchise quarterback to return.

Here’s a quick review of today’s transactions.
The Seattle Seahawks have announced three roster/practice squad moves heading into tomorrow’s season opener against the LA Rams.
Here’s a quick review of today’s transactions.
Happy first Blue Friday of the year, 12’s!
Happy first Blue Friday of the year, 12’s! With the NFL officially kicking off last night in Kansas City, we are merely hours away from Seahawks football being back. Seattle will start their 2023 campaign at Lumen Field like they did last year.
Fortunately for the Seahawks, Friday’s injury report looks a lot better than it did on Thursday. The good news is a few key starters do not have game time designations. Running back Kenneth Walker III appeared on the list in limited action at practice, but is set to be fine for the game. Rookie receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been a full participant and is in a similar boat as Walker.
Unfortunately, we’re at the part of the season when players are now being officially ruled out.
They’ve also made a few notable roster moves as we move into the first week of the 20323 NFL preseason.
The Seattle Seahawks had a couple of special guests at their latest training camp practice yesterday. They also made a few notable roster moves as we move into the first week of the 2023 NFL preseason.
Here are seven takeaways from Sunday’s practice.
40 Seahawks players who should make the initial 53-man roster
Injuries to Seattle running backs have presented an opportunity to former Georgia running back Kenny McIntosh
The Seattle Seahawks got a steal in the 2023 NFL draft with former Georgia Bulldogs running back Kenny McIntosh. Seattle was shocked to see McIntosh on the draft board in the seventh round.
Seattle, which had already drafted a top running back in 2022 and 2023, decided McIntosh was too good to pass up. Now, the Seahawks are pretty glad they drafted McIntosh.
McIntosh is stepping up in training camp for Seattle. The Seahawks are presently without star running backs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. McIntosh is getting an opportunity to get more reps in practice than he normally would.
The former Georgia standout is making the most of his carries in practice. Here’s a look at a few of his better runs from training camp:
Kenny McIntosh is a big play MACHINE đł
McIntosh has reportedly already seen reps with Seahawks first team, despite being a seventh round pick.
McIntoshâs âexplosivenessâ has reportedly been on full display so far, as well as his elite backfield vision.

McIntosh brings excellent receiving skills to Seattle. He caught 43 passes for 504 yards and two touchdowns during his final season at Georgia. McIntosh’s versatility played in key role in Georgia’s back-to-back national championship victories.
McIntosh could see a lot of looks on passing downs during the regular season. He’s not your average seventh round pick.
#Seahawks HC Pete Carroll on RBâs not practicing today:
Kenneth Walker has a groin injury and may remain out a while until they quiet that down.
Zach Charbonnet has shoulder injury and is getting checked by docs today. Out indefinitely.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni says he’s “OK with having a committee of running backs”, and says the #Eagles will roll with whatever is working
The Eaglesâ 2023 NFL offseason is almost complete, and as the Birds return for training camp, they’ll look entirely different on defense, while adding explosive players to the running back position.
Philadelphia signed former Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny to replace Miles Sanders, and the hope was that he could help decrease some of Hurtsâ designed runs.
They added more explosiveness at the position, trading for former Lions running back DâAndre Swift.
As the team returns to the NovaCare Complex for training camp, head coach Nick Sirianni is fine with ” a committee approach”, as well as one of the three talented players become the top dawg.
âIâm OK having a committee, Iâm OK with one guy getting the carries, too,â he said in a recent interview via NBC Sports Philadelphia. âI really am. Whateverâs working, whatever’s going (well).
“Weâll say at times weâre going to go here and then a guy gets hot and we’ll roll with him. For example, Kenny in the playoffs a little bit last year. He got more touches than he had gotten because he was running it really well.
âIâm content with whateverâs working and playing the best guys. I love the depth that we have to be able to rotate guys and keep guys fresh. I like when you have a guy that can do all of it, I like when you have a guy that you can segment it. Thereâs so many different ways to do it.â
With report day set for Tuesday morning, here’s a look at the Eagles committee of running backs and the best and worst case scenarios for the arrangement.
Walker showed a ton of promise in his rookie year and he’s getting some due recognition.

The Seahawks have one of the best backfields in the NFL this year. Rookies Kenny McIntosh (Georgia) and Zach Charbonnet (UCLA) will join veterans DeeJay Dallas and Ken Walker, who’s No. 1 on the depth chart now that Rashaad Penny is playing for the Eagles.
While he has plenty of room to improve, Walker showed a ton of promise in his rookie year and he’s getting some due recognition. In ESPN’s top 10 running back rankings for the 2023 season Walker missed the cut but he did get an honorable mention.
“His 4.2 rush efficiency rating tied Najee Harris for the league high. “He’s like a good mix of everything,” a high-ranking NFL personnel official said. “He probably has the least power of the three [rookies from 2022, with Hall and Pierce], but he’s quick, good balance, strong lower body, always goes forward. He’s like an unassuming 120-yard rusher.”
ESPN’s full top 10 at the position is as follows:
Aaron Jones is a snub here, but overall this is not too far off from our own top-10 RB rankings. The big exception is Falcons rookie Bijan Robinson, who were are going out on a limb for (very brave) by projecting he’ll be a top-five back in his first season.
