Updates from Week 4

Preseason Updates: Quarterbacks

With Sam Darnold playing with as much confidence as he ever has, the only questions left in the quarterback room surround who will back him up. Veteran Drew Lock has a lock on that role for 2026, but the organization wants to continue being patient with Jalen Milroe, who tends to hold onto the ball too long and take unnecessary sacks. Milroe received 100% of the snaps during the last preseason game and put up a solid stat line. "Definitely felt like he took a step in his game. He should be excited about his growth," head coach Mike Macdonald said afterward. Regardless of the result, the Seahawks will keep all three on the 53-man roster as the preseason draws to a close.

Preseason Updates: Running Backs

The Seahawks held rookie Jadarian Price out of the final preseason game Friday night after deciding they had seen all they needed to see during training camp, a decision also driven in part by the team's health issues at running back. Zach Charbonnet appears likely to begin the season on the PUP list, and veteran Emmanuel Wilson has a nagging hamstring injury that has kept him out of practice for the past two weeks. The primary backup for now is George Holani, who has only 25 career carries. Jacardia Wright had a strong preseason — including a 69-yard touchdown during last weekend's game against the Titans — but he has dealt with his own injuries that kept him out of parts of camp, and the team would like to keep him on the practice squad.
