Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for the 2026 NFL season with a new-look running back room after Kenneth Walker III left for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Zach Charbonnet is set to miss time at the start of the year.So, who will be earning the reps out of the backfield in Seattle? First-round rookie Jadarian Price, free-agent signing Emanuel Wilson, and returning RB George Holani are the three most-likely backs to see work.But how will Seattle manage this room? According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald revealed that it won't be a bell-cow situation, but rather a committee with two to three backs involved at any given time.Seahawks plan to use 2-3 RBs in a committee"The running back rotation will feature 'two, possibly three guys in a game plan,' Macdonald told me, starting with the preseason," Fowler writes.Price is expected to be the lead back, as they invested the most in him, and he has impressed during training camp. But, he won't be the sole RB toting the ball this upcoming season.The Seahawks are expected to use Price alongside Holani and/or Wilson this upcoming preseason. It will be important to look at how the Seahawks manage their RB room this August, as it could indicate the plan for the regular season.MORE:Cowboys QB Dak Prescott projected by ESPN to be behind Lions QB Jared Goff for HOF chanceIf Price and the other two backs are in a rotation, and Brian Fleury rides the hot hand in a game, the Seahawks might be utilizing a plan with a bit more uncertainty on a game-by-game basis.Still, Price, the 32nd overall pick in this past year's NFL draft, is the one most likely to lead the way. Just, he might not be the lead back in the way that Walker was down the stretch with Charbonnet out during their Super Bowl run.Wilson and Holani should eat into Price's workload at the start of the season, and once Charbonnet comes back, Price will likely be sharing backfield duties even more than before.This running back plan isn't a surprise. Price has potential, but as the Seahawks showed last year, a RB-by-committee approach is something this team is more than okay with operating under, unless injury necessitates a change.More NFL news:Ben Johnson responds to Liam Coens pointed Caleb Williams commentLamar Jackson is already predicted to be a Hall of Fame QB for Ravens per ESPNEagles' Jalen Hurts 'shouldn't have trouble' reaching Hall of Fame if he can continue to have playoff successPackers edge Micah Parsons already predicted to be on cusp of Hall of FameWhy Shedeur Sanders vs. Deshaun Watson QB competition is taking so long for Browns
