The Seahawks have given George Holani an early nod on their first unofficial depth chart for the 2026 season, listing him as RB1 ahead of the preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
That makes Holani the name at the top of Seattle's backfield chart as the team heads into preseason game week, a stretch when coaches often begin sorting a 90-man roster into something that looks like a 90-man depth chart. It also makes him the search term of the moment for anyone trying to figure out how Seattle plans to line up before live snaps start to matter.
The listing matters because the depth chart was released during Seattle's preseason game week, giving fans their first public look at how the Seahawks are organizing a running back room that is very much by committee until further notice. In that sense, Holani's spot says as much about timing as it does about role.
It would be a mistake to treat it as a locked-in answer. The depth chart is unofficial, and the team was clear that not much should be read into Holani being listed first once Zach Charbonnet returns. That return is the piece that could change the picture quickly, because the order at running back is still fluid and built to shift as the preseason unfolds.
So the real significance is not that Holani has suddenly become the finished product at the top of the chart. It is that Seattle used its first public lineup guide to show a backfield still being sorted, with the preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys serving as the first live test of how that committee will look once the games begin.
