McIntosh (thumb) has the opportunity to compete with DeeJay Dallas for Seattle's third-down running back role this offseason, Nick Lee of Sports Illustrated reports. McIntosh dealt with a plethora of injuries during his rookie season, including a thumb issue that held him out of the Seahawks' 2023 season finale against the Cardinals, but it now seems as if he's back to full health. The 2023 third-round pick appeared in just three games last year, failing to record a single carry while playing 13 total snaps (all on special teams). Now that McIntosh is healthy ahead of Seattle's offseason programs, he's got a chance to become the Seahawks' primary third-down back, playing behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

McIntosh (thumb) has the opportunity to compete with DeeJay Dallas for Seattle's third-down running back role this offseason, Nick Lee of Sports Illustrated reports. McIntosh dealt with a plethora of injuries during his rookie season, including a thumb issue that held him out of the Seahawks' 2023 season finale against the Cardinals, but it now seems as if he's back to full health. The 2023 third-round pick appeared in just three games last year, failing to record a single carry while playing 13 total snaps (all on special teams). Now that McIntosh is healthy ahead of Seattle's offseason programs, he's got a chance to become the Seahawks' primary third-down back, playing behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
McIntosh was moved off IR last weekend following a knee injury, though he didn't play Week 10 against Washington. The rookie appears to be past the knee issue since he came into this weekend without an injury designation, but he still won't make his NFL debut versus Los Angeles. McIntosh's next opportunity to play will come Thanksgiving Day against San Francisco.
McIntosh was activated off injured reserve Saturday after sitting out the first nine weeks of the season with a knee sprain. However, he'll ultimately have to wait to make his NFL debut, as the team will wait before sending him into game action. The rookie running back's next opportunity to play will come Sunday, Nov. 19 against the Rams. In the meantime, DeeJay Dallas should continue to add depth behind top running backs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
Carroll's comments would suggest that Seattle is preparing to designate McIntosh for return from the injured reserve list this week. If that's the case, he could make his NFL debut as soon as Sunday versus Cleveland.
