Weekly insight ledger

Tory HortonNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Receiver who missed second half of last season with shin injury; was not placed on PUP list Monday, though source notes this could simply mean he hasn't reported and had a physical yet; status worth watching as camp nears.

Zach CharbonnetNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Running back recovering from ACL injury suffered last January; was not placed on PUP list Monday, though source notes this could simply mean he hasn't reported and had a physical yet; status worth watching as camp nears.

Tyrone BrodenNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Cornerback placed on PUP list Monday; former receiver making switch to cornerback; did not take part in drills during offseason program after being placed on injured reserve last November with a leg injury; Seahawks hope his 6-foot-5 height could make him a better fit at cornerback than receiver, where roster spots appear set heading into camp.

Kenny McIntoshNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Running back placed on PUP list Monday; suffered ACL injury early in training camp last year and did not take part in on-field drills during offseason program; projected to compete for roster spot once healthy.

Kenneth Walker IIINegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl MVP, departed the Seahawks; Zach Charbonnet was drafted in the first round to help replace him.

Zach CharbonnetPositiveJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Zach Charbonnet was taken in the first round to help replace departed Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III; he has been open about the impact his mother Jessica Butler's battle with breast cancer — she was declared cancer-free in 2017 — has had on his life and football career, providing compelling personal narrative material for Hard Knocks coverage.

Jalen CokerNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Jalen Coker received prominent Hard Knocks spotlight during the 2024 Chicago Bears coverage, where his quest to retain a roster spot was a key storyline; he was featured discussing his former pet ferret Crash, which he acquired after a trip to PetSmart in Moscow, Idaho during a USC trip to play Washington State. Bears GM Ryan Poles rejected a trade offer for him, demanding at least a third-round pick, but Coker was cut shortly after and landed with the Seahawks late last season, appearing in 23 special teams snaps in the Super Bowl. He is firmly on the bubble as camp begins and could provide compelling viewing again.

Brady RussellPositiveJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Brady Russell has a compelling backstory as an undrafted free agent who signed with the Eagles before joining the Seahawks in 2023 and earning the de facto special teams captain role last season; his father Randy is a former Marine Corps pilot with eight wartime deployments, and Russell earned a Colorado scholarship after joining as a walk-on. A new two-year contract worth up to $4.8 million secures his roster spot for this season, though his quest to earn a larger role could provide intriguing Hard Knocks narrative material.

Elijah ArroyoPositiveJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

The Seahawks are hoping for more production from second-year tight end Arroyo as they try to get their tight ends even more involved in the offense.

Tory HortonPositiveJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

The Seahawks are hoping for more production from second-year player Horton as they look to expand their passing attack beyond Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Rashid ShaheedPositiveJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

The offseason has been filled with speculation that the Seahawks will get the ball more to Shaheed as they look to diversify their passing attack beyond Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Zach CharbonnetNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Charbonnet is recovering from an ACL injury suffered in the playoff win over the 49ers on Jan. 18; the expectation is that mid- to late October might be a best-case scenario for his return, though it will become clearer once camp begins when he might be back.

Emanuel WilsonNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Free-agent signee Wilson figures to have a role in the Seahawks' running back committee as they replace Kenneth Walker III's production while Zach Charbonnet recovers from an ACL injury.

George HolaniNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Holani, a third-year player, figures to have a role in the Seahawks' running back committee and seems a good fit for the third-down role, which he essentially held in the NFC title game and Super Bowl after Zach Charbonnet's injury.

Jadarian PriceNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

The Seahawks used the 32nd overall pick on Price as a first-round running back to replace Kenneth Walker III; the source expects Price will emerge as the starter by the regular season opener Sept. 9 against New England, though the team may ease him into the role during camp while stressing that everything must be earned on the defending Super Bowl champions.

Jaxon Smith-NjigbaNegativeJul 26, 2026The Seattle Times Seahawks

Smith-Njigba recorded 1,793 receiving yards last season—the eighth-most in NFL history—at just 23 years old, the second-youngest player on the list of top 10 receiving seasons in league history. The source notes that topping this historic season won't be easy, as each of the top 14 receiving seasons is by a different player, but after last year's performance you'd be taking a risk to bet against him repeating elite production.
