How and why this 2026 Seahawks offense could change

Jer'rel Coleman of Field Gulls analyzes how the Seattle Seahawks offense is evolving following the acquisition of All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson from Indianapolis. With left tackle Charles Cross sidelined by an ankle injury and Grey Zabel shifting to right guard, Seattle is expected to rely heavily on a physical ground attack led by returning backs Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet to support quarterback Sam Darnold.

Head coach Mike Macdonald and offensive coordinator Brian Fleury are emphasizing balanced distribution to counteract defenses doubling receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With receiver Rashid Shaheed injured, Tory Horton faces increased expectations, while Coleman notes the team could consider further running back reinforcements if current options struggle.
