Seahawks preseason has begun
Who will make the 53 man roster?
July 7, 2026

After winning their first Super Bowl in franchise history, the Seahawks came home for the first time since the epic win.
The Seahawks had a rough first preseason game versus the Broncos. Though not completely outscored or outplayed, the game came down to one drop pass that could have been a touchdown, possibly giving us the win. The game ended with an interception by the Broncos late in the 4th quarter with the final score of 16-21 Broncos.
The game was riddled with penalties. A total of 25 penalties were accepted; 13 for the Seahawks, and 12 for the Broncos.
With that game behind them, the Seahawks looked to protect the quarterback more, cut down the penalties, and play cleaner football. Friday, playing against the San Diego Chargers, was the first time the Seahawks have been back at home since their run to the Super Bowl last year. The stadium was sold out and loud as ever. The 12s were out in force.
With the crowd as loud as usual, Philip Rivers, Chargers quarterback, was having a difficult time relaying play changes. The first squad out on the field, they held the Chargers from scoring.
Playing as back up to Marshawn Lynch, Robert Turbin showed off his skills during the San Diego game on Friday. Turbin carried 12 times for 81 yards averaging 6.8 a carry. This lead to his first rushing touchdown since playing with the Seahawks. As a solid running back, there is no doubt he will be able to take the lead if Lynch gets hurt during the season.
The entire roster played very well. At the end of the night, the defense held the Chargers to 14 points, while the Seahawks scored 41 points. The Seahawks QBs were on fire. They managed to score 4 rushing touchdowns between the 3 of them, with Russel Wilson leading the way with 2 of the scores.
The coaches are going to have to make the tough decision to cut some players to make it all the way down to 53 players for the official NFL roster at the beginning of the season in September. (instead, maybe, “If everyone keeps playing this well, the coaches will have some tough decisions ahead of them. The roster currently stands at (blank) and needs to come down to (blank) amount of players to be season ready. )
The Seahawks were known for their roster depth last year and this years appears to be no difference.
