Kenny McIntosh Believed to Have Suffered a Torn ACL

Saturday, July 26, 8:46 PM

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh (knee) is believed to have sustained a torn ACL. He suffered the injury during practice on Saturday, requiring assistance off the field. The 25-year-old finished the 2024 campaign with only 172 yards off 31 carries. He is competing for the No. 3 spot behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet while potentially serving as a return man on special teams. However, with McIntosh's season likely over, rookie Damien Martinez could replace him on the depth chart, although that won't help him be relevant for fantasy managers, at least as long as Walker and Charbonnet are healthy. McIntosh will undergo further testing, with an official diagnosis expected soon.

Kimani Vidal Fighting for No. 3 Job

Sunday, July 13, 11:31 AM

Los Angeles Chargers running backs Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris are locked in as the team's top two RBs entering the 2025 season, which means that Kimani Vidal will have to shine in other areas in order to win the No. 3 role. Vidal showed promise as a rookie in 2024, but he will need to continue to prove himself in order to earn a spot on the 53-man active roster, according to Chargers Wire's Spencer Schultz. Specifically, his role in the passing game could be what separates himself from the likes of Hassan Haskins, Jaret Patterson and Raheim Sanders. After being taken 181st overall in the sixth round last year out of Troy, Vidal had 43 carries for 155 yards (3.6 yards per tote) and no touchdowns in 10 regular-season games, adding five receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. At best, Vidal will be a bench stash for depth in deep PPR formats.
