George Holani Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Seahawks vs Titans game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 10, 2025
Scores in blowout win
Holani rushed seven times for 31 yards and a touchdown in the 44-22 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Holani typically stays out of the offensive rotation, as he has played more than three offensive snaps just one other time this year, but the blowout nature of this game meant he handled 11 snaps, scoring his first regular-season touchdown in the process. The 25-year-old running back should revert to a special-teams role in Week 11 versus the Rams.

Rushes three times in win
Holani rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders. He also returned two kicks for 29 yards.
ANALYSIS
Holani carried the ball for the first time since Week 3, as the Seahawks got out to a convincing lead early. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet will continue to handle a bulk of the workload as long as they're healthy, while Holani should mostly stick to special teams in typical game scripts.
Sep 26, 2025
Sticks to special teams
Holani returned three kicks for 74 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Holani didn't play at all on offense with both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet in the lineup. Unless one of the two top running backs gets hurt, Holani's usage should remain strictly on special teams moving forward.
Sep 22, 2025
Earns 12 touches in blowout win
Holani carried the ball 10 times for 27 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-13 rout of the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Holani was elevated to No. 2 on the running back depth chart with Zach Charbonnet (foot) sitting out this contest. The 25-year-old Holani likely saw more touches than expected in a lopsided matchup that was decided by halftime. It is unclear if Charbonnet will return in time for Thursday's matchup against the Cardinals, but Holani is unlikely to generate fantasy buzz even if he is asked to serve as Kenneth Walker's primary backup again.
Sep 19, 2025
Role could increase
Holani will serve as Kenneth Walker's backup if Zach Charbonnet (foot) is unable to play Sunday against New Orleans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Charbonnet enters Sunday's game against the Saints with a doubtful tag after failing to practice in any capacity during the week. The primary fantasy impact will be a big workload for Walker, but Holani could see his first offensive snaps and potentially carries of the season.
Sep 15, 2025
Sticking to special teams
Holani returned five kicks for 133 yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Holani hasn't played an offensive snap through two weeks, but he continues to make an impact on special teams. As long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are healthy, Holani's role should remain the same.
Aug 27, 2025
Secures No. 3 job
Holani was named the No. 3 running back after the Seahawks waived Damien Martinez on Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
An undrafted free agent in 2024, Holani was far from a roster lock after suiting suited up in just five games during his rookie season before the Seahawks selected Martinez in the seventh round. Holani earned his spot during a short but definitive preseason, as he rushed 12 times for 110 yards (9.2 YPC) and a touchdown while mixing in on the kick return. The Boise State product carries little fantasy value as long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are healthy, but Holani's a fine stash in deeper dynasty leagues due to Walker's injury history.
Aug 17, 2025
Breaks off long run
Holani rushed five times for 49 yards in Friday's 33-16 preseason win over the Chiefs. He also returned three kicks for 73 yards.
ANALYSIS
Holani was the Seahawks' second running back in the game after Zach Charbonnet got the start. The Boise State product only played one drive but looked quite good, breaking off a 30-yard run in the first quarter. It appears he has the edge over rookie seventh-round pick Damien Martinez at this time, but neither player will get much run as long as Charbonnet and lead back Kenneth Walker are healthy.
Aug 8, 2025
Strengthens case for roster spot
Holani rushed seven times for 61 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for 20 yards in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Holani made the most of his opportunity as the starter Thursday with the Seahawks resting numerous key offensive contributors, including running backs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. Holani's production came in just two drives of action, the second of which he capped with a 24-yard rushing touchdown. The second-year pro seems to have the early edge in the competition for the third spot on the depth chart over rookie seventh-round pick Damien Martinez, who mustered only 25 scrimmage yards on eight touches Thursday. Holani will look to keep building momentum in Seattle's second preseason game, Aug. 15 against the Chiefs.

Competing for No. 3 job
Holani is competing for the No. 3 running back job after Kenny McIntosh suffered a torn ACL on Monday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks selected Damien Martinez in the seventh round of this year's draft, but Holani ran with the second team during Tuesday's practice while Martinez worked with the third team. One of the two is likely to land the No. 3 role behind Kenneth Walker -- who didn't practice Tuesday -- and Zach Charbonnet, although Jacardia Wright and D.K. Kaufman are also in the mix. Holani rushed three times for 10 yards through five games as a rookie in 2024.
Dec 26, 2024
Signed to Seattle's active roster
The Seahawks signed Holani from the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Holani had been elevated from Seattle's practice squad to the active roster for the three-game maximum, and over that span he turned three carries into 10 yards while adding one catch for minus-1 yard. Now that he's on the 53-man roster, Holani will serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 running back behind Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh due to Kenneth Walker (ankle) being ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Bears.
Dec 16, 2024
Reverts to practice squad
Holani reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
Holani served as the team's third-string running back behind Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh as Kenneth Walker (calf) was out for the second straight week. Holani ended up carrying the ball three times for 10 yards and saw playing time on special teams as well during Sunday's loss to the Packers.
Dec 14, 2024
Promoted to active roster
Holani was elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Holani was active for the Week 14 contest against the Cardinals, catching his lone target for minus-1 yards, and he should add depth in the backfield once again Sunday. Holani is slated to serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 running back behind Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh once again since Kenneth Walker (calf) is doubtful and unlikely to suit up Sunday.
Dec 9, 2024
Reverts to practice squad
Holani reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Holani was active on game day for the second time this season and got two snaps on offense, catching his only target for a one-yard loss. He also logged eight snaps on special teams. Holani appears to be back to full health after spending over two months on the practice squad injured list due to an ankle injury earlier in the campaign.
Dec 7, 2024
Elevated for Week 14
The Seahawks elevated Holani from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Holani spent two months on the practice-squad injured list due to an ankle injury, but he was restored from the IL on Nov. 27. He'll be elevated to the active roster for the second time this season, and with Kenneth Walker (ankle) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Holani is slated to serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 running back behind Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh.
Nov 27, 2024
Restored to practice squad
Holani (ankle) was restored to the practice squad from the practice squad injured list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Holani suffered an ankle injury in his NFL regular-season debut against the Patriots in Week 2, which caused him to be placed on the practice squad injured list. Now that he's been restored to the practice squad, Holani will be eligible to be elevated to the active roster should the Seahawks require backfield depth and help on special teams.
Sep 24, 2024
Out of action
The Seahawks placed Holani on the practice squad/injured list Tuesday with an ankle injury, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Elevated from the practice squad for the Seahawks' Week 2 win over the Patriots, Holani played six snaps -- all on special teams -- in what was his NFL debut. However, Holani sustained an ankle injury in that contest, which was likely why he wasn't elevated ahead of the Week 3 win over the Dolphins, even though top back Kenneth Walker (oblique) missed a second straight contest. As a result of landing on the practice squad/injured list, Holani won't be eligible to play in any of the Seahawks' next four games.
Sep 16, 2024
Reverts to practice squad
Holani reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Holani saw the field for six snaps on special teams in Sunday's win over the Patriots. He was elevated to the active roster for more running back depth due to Kenneth Walker (oblique) being sidelined. Walker's status could determine whether or not Holani gets promoted again in Week 3.
Sep 14, 2024
Called up from practice squad
The Seahawks elevated Holani from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
ANALYSIS
Kenneth Walker (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots. If Walker doesn't play, then Holani would serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 running back behind Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh. Holani played in all three preseason games for the Seahawks, accumulating 15 carries for 65 yards and two touchdowns while adding three catches for 15 yards.
Sep 13, 2024
Could be elevated for Week 2
The Seahawks could recall Holani from their practice squad with Kenneth Walker (oblique) listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
It appears increasingly likely that Walker will miss Seattle's Week 2 affair, and Holani is expected to be elevated to the team's active roster to ensure depth at running back. The Boise State product would likely serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 RB behind both Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh if he's elevated before Sunday's game.
Aug 28, 2024
Back with Seattle on taxi squad
Holani signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Holani wasn't able to supplant Kenny McIntosh for the No. 3 running back job behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet (undisclosed). Holani was invited back to Seattle's taxi squad after a strong training camp, and across three preseason games, he recorded 15 carries for 65 yards and two touchdowns while adding three catches (on four targets) for 15 yards. Holani, who signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent in April, would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should Walker, Charbonnet or McIntosh miss time.
Aug 27, 2024
Cut by Seattle
The Seahawks waived Holani on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Holani signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Boise State in April. He was reportedly making a move for the No. 3 job this summer, but the Seahawks are cutting him after Holani rushed 15 times for 66 yards and two touchdowns. He added three catches for 15 yards. Holani could be a candidate for the practice squad.
Aug 16, 2024
Making moves for No. 3 role
Holani is competing with Kenny McIntosh for the No. 3 running back spot behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie out of Boise State has impressed in training camp and preseason, both as a rusher and a blocker. The 23-year-old running back recorded 3,596 yards on 685 carries (5.2 YPC) through his five-year college career, and he chipped in 777 yards and a score as a receiver, too. Meanwhile, McIntosh showcased a strong skillset at Georgia but didn't play an offensive snap as a rookie in 2023. Neither player will provide much fantasy utility as long as Walker and Charbonnet are healthy, though.
Apr 29, 2024
Intends to sign with Seattle
Holani is slated to sign with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
According to Garafolo, Holani will get a $15,000 signing bonus and $100,000 guaranteed to go to Seattle. The Boise State product stands 5-foot-10, 208 pounds and was a five-year contributor for the Broncos, rushing for 685-3,596-26 and adding 88-777-8 as a receiver. Holani joins a depth chart that includes Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh.
