The Seahawks could do worse than kicking the tires on Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Seattle’s backfield has had its share of uneven moments this season, and the New York Giants running back looks like the kind of player who could fit into that mix and raise the ceiling a bit. Tracy isn’t sitting in the same role he held as a rookie in 2024, and he also isn’t operating as the obvious high-volume backup he was behind Cam Skattebo before Skattebo’s injury last season. That shift has left Tracy with less room to show what he can do in New York’s ground game.
Even with Skattebo recently pushed down the depth chart, Tracy still didn’t get a heavy workload in the Giants’ latest game against the New Orleans Saints. He managed only six carries in the loss, a usage level that only adds to the sense that he could be available for a team like Seattle.
The appeal is easy to see. Tracy already has the kind of production that suggests he can handle more than a change-of-pace role.
He topped 1,000 yards from scrimmage in both of his first two seasons, putting up 1,123 yards in 2024 and 1,028 in 2025. At 26, he’s still young enough to keep growing, and his résumé points to a player with the tools to develop into a 1,000-yard rusher if he gets steady work.
For Seattle, that matters. George Holani has had his struggles this season, and Emanuel Wilson has gone through his own ups and downs. Adding Tracy would give the Seahawks another young option in the rotation, one who could bring both rushing production and receiving value for years to come.

Quenton Nelson Just Raised The Stakes For Seattles Offensive Line
The Seahawks made a major move to stabilize the middle of their offensive line, landing guard Quenton Nelson from the Colts for a pair of future draft picks. Seattle expects Nelson to step in at left guard, and the trade immediately changes the look of a unit that has been searching for more consistency up front. For a team trying to protect its quarterback and create a cleaner run game, the addition carries obvious weight.
Nelson is now in the middle of the usual post-trade adjustment period, learning a new offensive scheme and getting acquainted with new teammates. The Seahawks are giving him support as he settles in, but the ripple effect is already clear: his arrival forces a reshuffle along the line and raises the standard for everyone around him. How quickly that group clicks will be one of the more important early storylines for Seattle. [Read more 🡒]
Rashid Shaheed Trade Still Looks Worth It For Seahawks
The Seahawks brought in Rashid Shaheed during the 2025 season to give their offense and special teams a jolt, and the move already looks like one of those midseason swings that can pay off in more than one way. Shaheed was part of Seattles Super Bowl run last season, offering useful production as both a receiver and a return man while giving the team a speed element it had been looking for.
This season has not started as explosively on the receiving side, with his production down so far, but Seattle still has a player who can tilt field position every time he touches a kick or punt. For a team that values hidden yardage and game-changing speed, that kind of versatility keeps the trade looking smart even if the box score has been quieter lately. [Read more 🡒]
Seahawks Backfield Suddenly Has A Monday Night Twist Fans Need To See
Jadarian Prices return from injured reserve gave Seattles backfield an immediate jolt on the latest injury report, and it came with the kind of timing that can change how the Seahawks approach a game plan. Mike Macdonald said Price could be in line to play in the upcoming game, which adds another layer to a running back room that has already been under the microscope as the team tries to sort out who is available and how much work each player can handle.
The bigger wrinkle is Zach Charbonnet, who went from full participation to limited work in practice, leaving his status less certain than it looked earlier in the week. Elsewhere on the report, Charles Cross, Rashid Shaheed and Uchenna Nwosu were held out, while Leonard Williams and Drake Thomas moved all the way to full participation, giving Seattle a mixed health picture heading into Monday night and a few lineup decisions still hanging in the balance.
