McIntosh opened training camp on the physically unable to perform list as he continue to recover from a torn ACL that he suffered during a late-July 2025 training camp practice.

When speaking to reporters on Saturday, head coach Mike Macdonald said he had “no timetable” on McIntosh’s recovery.

“That was a tough injury,” Macdonald said. “And I know we’re going on almost a year now, but that was a really unfortunate injury for Kenny Mac. But he’s right there. He’s rehabbing. He’s working hard.”

McIntosh, a 2023 seventh-round draft pick out of Georgia, also missed most of his rookie season after suffering a knee injury during training camp that summer.

In 2024, McIntosh rushed for 172 yards on 31 carries for an average of 5.5 yards per attempt. He also had three catches for 22 yards that season, along with six kick returns for a 25.5-yard average.

Most of McIntosh’s playing time in Seattle came over the final month of the 2024 season, when he filled in as the backup running back with starter Kenneth Walker III sidelined for four of the final five games.
