Many key contributors from the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl-winning roster returned ahead of the 2026 season, and coach Mike Macdonald has rested most of them throughout the preseason.But the Seahawks, who have dropped both exhibition games against the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans, still have plenty to sort out ahead of their preseason finale Friday night against the Kansas City Chiefs.Here are five questions the Seahawks can inch closer to answering in Friday’s game, before cutting their roster down to 53 players ahead of Sunday’s 3 p.m. PT deadline.Seattle Seahawks Camp: Fleury's new DNA, Charbonnet's return and moreRobert MaysWho’s running it?Who will be Seattle’s No. 1 running back? The picture has yet to crystallize. Meanwhile, much remains up in the air for the Seahawks’ depth players at the position, too.Jadarian Price, who was drafted in the first round to help replace Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, has yet to appear in a preseason game and will not play against the Chiefs. He missed time earlier in training camp with what Macdonald described as “upper-leg soreness” but has returned to the practice field as a full participant.George Holani, who paced the Seahawks with 12 carries for 42 rushing yards against Dallas, could be the No. 1 running back in their season opener on Sept. 9, a Super Bowl rematch against the New England Patriots.Zach Charbonnet, who led Seattle with 12 rushing touchdowns last season, was placed on the physically unable to perform list before camp and is not practicing, but he is expected to return at some point during the 2026 season. If he remains on the PUP list through Sunday, he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season, but he would not count against the 53-man roster until activated.Price and Holani are locks to make the 53. Seattle’s third running back spot could still be up for grabs, especially because Emanuel Wilson, who signed in free agency after three seasons with the Green Bay Packers, remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. He could be a candidate for short-term injured reserve, which would keep him out for at least four weeks and save Seattle a roster spot in the meantime.Jacardia Wright showed off his burst in ripping off a 69-yard touchdown against Tennessee, and Velus Jones Jr. has appeared in both preseason games. If Wilson isn’t ready to go once the regular season gets underway, one of Wright or Jones has an excellent shot to crack the roster.As for who will be Seattle’s bell cow, it will be between Price and Holani, at least until Charbonnet returns. The Seahawks might rotate the two running backs at the outset, using Price more frequently on early downs and as a receiver and Holani in short-yardage situations and as a pass protector.Uncertainty at safety?Safety Bud Clark will miss the season after being placed on injured reserve Tuesday. He was carted off the field with a broken ankle during Sunday night’s game in Nashville, Tenn.Clark, 24, was the 64th pick in the 2026 draft out of TCU. He was expected to contribute quickly and compete with Ty Okada to start opposite Julian Love. Instead, Okada is the clear favorite to start next to Love after setting career highs in games started (11) and tackles (65) last season.Considering both Clark and offseason signee Rodney Thomas II are sidelined, the Seahawks must soon figure out who their top backup safety will be.Following Sunday’s preseason game, Macdonald highlighted AJ Finley, D’Anthony Bell and Maxen Hook as options to help alleviate the loss of Clark.Bell, who re-signed with Seattle over the offseason, led all Seahawks defensive backs with four solo tackles (five total) on Sunday. Finley, who is in his third season with Seattle, has three tackles across the two preseason games, while Hook, an undrafted free agent out of Toledo, has seven.No member of the trio has separated himself yet. Friday is an opportunity to do so.Third cornerback up for grabs?Injuries have also complicated the Seahawks’ outlook at cornerback. Second-year nickelback Nick Emmanwori had offseason ankle surgery, missing most of training camp before practicing in a limited capacity over the past few days. The Seahawks hope he will be ready for the season opener.If not, Seattle will have to look elsewhere, especially since the team led the league in percentage of plays with at least five defensive backs on the field last season (92.6), per TruMedia.Last week, the Seahawks added former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs on a one-year deal. A two-time Pro Bowler, Diggs is coming off a career-worst season in which he was released by both Dallas and the Green Bay Packers.Diggs, who has not appeared in a preseason game, could be the front-runner to be the Seahawks’ third cornerback — replacing Riq Woolen, who left in free agency — unless one of the reserves steps up against Kansas City. However, most of his contract is not guaranteed, so nothing is assured.Veteran Noah Igbinoghene, who signed in free agency, has repped at nickelback throughout camp. So has third-year pro Nehemiah Pritchett, who appeared in every game for the Seahawks last year, including all three playoff contests. Is there room for both on the 53-man roster?That might depend on the health of third-round rookie Julian Neal, who has not appeared in either preseason game due to a leg injury. If Neal needs more time to recover, he could go on short-term injured reserve, opening up a roster spot. The Seahawks also have a pair of seventh-round rookies, Michael Dansby and Andre Fuller, competing for spots.Wide receiver reserves?Wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. has been one of the stars of HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” and for good reason. Not only does the 5-foot-11, 188-pound Foster present a compelling case with his blend of agility and catching ability, but he might benefit from the loss of fellow wideout Jake Bobo, who will miss the season with a torn ACL.Seattle’s top three wide receivers on the depth chart are all but set in stone.Reigning Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be around for years to come after signing a four-year, $168.8 million contract extension in March. Former Triple Crown winner Cooper Kupp is back on the scene. The speedy Rashid Shaheed signed a three-year, $51 million contract extension in March as well.Outside of that trio, though, things get a bit murky.Tory Horton, who missed most of his 2025 rookie season with a cracked tibia, has not practiced recently due to an undisclosed injury. He could be another candidate for short-term injured reserve. Special teams ace Irv Charles, whom Seattle acquired from the New York Jets in May, has not appeared in either preseason game.Sixth-round rookie Emmanuel Henderson Jr. has one catch for 7 yards, while 2025 seventh-rounder Ricky White III has hauled in three passes for 26 yards. Seventh-year veteran Cody White, who has the largest frame among Seattle’s receivers at 6-3, 227 pounds, is in his fourth training camp with the franchise after cracking the 53 in 2025.Given Charles’ absence and the injuries to Bobo and Horton, there are plenty of opportunities to go around. Strong performances by any of Seattle’s reserve wideouts against the Chiefs could go a long way in their bids to make the team.Has Milroe taken a step forward?Entering the preseason, some posited that second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe could supplant veteran Drew Lock as Sam Darnold’s backup. But Milroe has struggled, while Lock has demonstrated he is the clear No. 2 — completing 21 of 27 passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns while repping with the second-team offense this preseason.Milroe, whom Seattle took in the third round of the 2025 draft, is 11 of 19 for 88 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions, both against the Titans. He has been sacked five times. On the positive side, he has rushed six times for 52 yards, something the coaching staff wants him to do more, given his speed.If Macdonald deploys his quarterbacks the same way he did for last year’s preseason finale, Milroe will play the whole game on Friday. It would be beneficial for his development and provide more game film for Seattle’s coaching staff to evaluate, as he was drafted with the understanding that he still had plenty of growth ahead of him.Should Milroe labor again on Friday, Seahawks brass might need to re-evaluate its quarterback room, especially depending on who becomes available after rosters are cut down to 53 players.
