Former Georgia RB feared to have ACL injury during NFL training camp, per report

Former Georgia running back Kenny McIntosh reportedly sustained a serious injury ahead of his 3rd NFL season.
Originally a 7th-round pick for the Seattle Seahawks in 2023, McIntosh did not see much action as a rookie and was only deployed in a limited role during the 2024 season. Unfortunately, his 2025 season may already be over after reports out of training camp.
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, McIntosh was carted off the field from Saturday’s practice. The initial belief is that McIntosh has sustained an ACL injury but will undergo further testing before a final decision is reached.
Such an injury would more than likely require surgery and keep McIntosh out of commission for the season.

During the 2024 season, McIntosh rushed for 172 yards on 31 carries but appeared in all 17 games. He also worked as a kick returner for the franchise and was likely to get more special teams work this year.
The ground attack for the Seahawks was in good hands with Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet anchoring the top 2 spots in the backfield when healthy. However, Seattle’s offense has undergone a makeover this offseason and is moving forward with new quarterback Sam Darnold after trading Geno Smith and DK Metcalf.
While playing for Kirby Smart, McIntosh rushed for over 1,500 yards and over 800 yards receiving with 20 total touchdowns. He was a member of back-to-back national titles for the program, including leading the team in rushing (829 yards) and yards from scrimmage (1,334 yards) during the 2022 title run.
