It’s a Seattle Seahawks (preseason) game week, which also means we get to see the team’s first unofficial depth chart for the 2026 season.
Ahead of Seattle’s preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys, the Seahawks unveiled their 90-man roster in depth chart form. Have a look for yourself!
A couple of things to note when reading the Seahawks depth chart:
- Nick Emmanwori is now off of PUP after passing his physical, so this time next week the depth chart will look different. The unofficial depth chart was obviously finalized before Tuesday morning.
- If you want to know about ordinal ranking on a depth chart, read from left to right by row. For example, the cornerback room behind Devon Witherspoon would read: Nehemiah Pritchett, Shemar Jean-Charles, Michael Dansby, and Andre Fuller.
Just in case it hasn’t been emphasized already, this is an unofficial depth chart, so don’t make too many grand declarations or worry about the fact
that nearly all of the Seahawks rookies are buried in the back-end. That’s not uncommon for the Seahawks and probably not for many other teams.
I can say that after a week of Seahawks training camp, and acknowledging that some players listed on here missed practice, that there’s a healthy set of accuracy attached to this depth chart. Pritchett and Igbinoghene have definitely had the bulk of the snaps with the ones and twos, and they look odds-on to make the roster. The running back room is very much a by-committee situation until further notice, so I wouldn’t read too much into Holani RB1 (especially once Zach Charbonnet returns). Logan Brown and Amari Kight, for example, have hopped between the second and third teams while working either tackle spot. Shaheed and Horton have worked with both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. Elijah Arroyo has had 11-on-11 reps with Darnold, Lock, and Milroe but obviously he’s much more of a receiving tight end in 12 personnel looks than Eric Saubert.
The only eyebrow raiser to me is Rodney Thomas listed behind A.J. Finley, although in hindsight we’ve seen a lot of Finley and Maxen Hook with the second unit. There have been some three-safety looks in which Thomas is involved with the twos, so that competition is very tight.
We’ll definitely have a better feel for Seattle’s depth chart—realistically, the non-starters—once preseason games get underway.
