McIntosh is still working back from a sprained knee from the team’s mock game scrimmage in early August. The only question was going to be health. This position has felt very settled for most of training camp. RB (4): Ken Walker III, Zach Charbonnet, DeeJay Dallas, Kenny McIntosh. However, it would be a surprise to see the team keep Holton Ahlers for that reason.

The return of the third quarterback rule does increase the incentive to keep an extra quarterback on the roster in case they become needed in a game. So with all that being said, here's our projection: Head coach Pete Carroll didn’t indicate any of the three were particularly serious, so we’re not going to assume they’re significant enough to alter roster construction.

Injuries to linebacker Devin Bush (concussion), safety Joey Blount (shoulder) and outside linebacker Derick Hall (shoulder) from the final preseason game could factor into the decisions made on the roster. Then once those initial moves are made, another round of claims and cuts can occur. Additionally, players initially kept on the active roster could be moved to injured reserve, which would create another opening to then refill.

A player added via waivers means another player must go to create room. Teams can make waiver claims the day after players are released to add players released by other teams. So for this projection, we aren't including any guesses on that front. There is no way to reasonably forecast any trades that could occur.
