Seahawks outline projected 53-man roster ahead of 2026 training camp
Seattle's Super Bowl-winning team released a preseason projection of its 53-player roster, highlighting key position battles and players on the physically unable to perform list.
Seattle will begin its 2026 training camp on Saturday, aiming to become the first NFC franchise to win consecutive Super Bowls since the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s. Ahead of camp, the team’s analysts have outlined a projected 53-man roster, noting that most offseason changes have occurred on defense.
On offense, the quarterback group is expected to include Sam Darnold, Drew Lock and rookie Jalen Milroe, with no cuts announced. Running backs Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani are projected to make the roster, while Zach Charbonnet starts the season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and Kenny McIntosh is also on PUP but may return to practice soon. Fullbacks Robbie Ouzts and Brady Russell are likely to remain, and the wide-receiver corps is set to feature Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton and Jake Bobo, with several fringe players listed as cuts.
The tight-end group includes A.J. Barner, Elijah Arroyo and Eric Saubert, with rookie Lance Mason and Nick Kallerup competing for roster spots. The offensive line projection lists ten players, among them Charles Cross, Abe Lucas, Josh Jones and Olu Oluwatimi, while speculation surrounds Oluwatimi’s contract status.
Defensively, the projected line consists of Byron Murphy II, Leonard Williams, Jarran Reed, Rylie Mills and Mike Morris, with Deven Eastern on the PUP list. Outside linebackers Derick Hall, Uchenna Nwosu, Dante Fowler Jr., DeMarcus Lawrence and rookie Aidan Hubbard are slated to compete, while inside linebackers Ernest Jones IV, Drake Thomas, Tyrice Knight and Chris Paul Jr round out the group.
In the secondary, cornerbacks Devon Witherspoon, Josh Jobe, Nehemiah Pritchett, Julian Neal and Noah Igbinoghene are projected, and safeties Julian Love, Ty Okada, Nick Emmanwori, Bud Clark and Rodney Thomas II complete the defensive backfield. Special-teams positions remain unchanged, with Jason Myers as kicker, Michael Dickson as punter and Chris Stoll as long snapper.
The projection acknowledges that final roster decisions, especially for lower-depth players, will depend on camp performance, preseason games and subsequent signings and waivers.
