Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh has been placed on injured reserve due to a torn ACL, which will require surgery. This unfortunate injury occurred during practice as he was competing for the No. 3 running back position behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet. Coach Mike Macdonald expressed his support for McIntosh, emphasizing the need for the team to rally around him during this challenging recovery period.

McIntosh, a seventh-round pick in 2023, had limited action in his rookie season but showed promise last year with 31 carries for 172 yards. His absence opens up opportunities for rookies Damien Martinez and D.K. Kaufman, as well as second-year player George Holani, all vying for the third spot in the running back rotation.
