Designated to return from IR The Seahawks designated Holani (hamstring) to return to practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reported that Holani said he was healthy when the four weeks of mandatory injured reserve time were up, and the running back has just been waiting for a chance to get back to work. The 26-year-old last played in the Week 12 win over the Titans, recording five special teams snaps.

Impact Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL during the Seahawks' 41-6 win over the 49ers during Saturday's divisional-round game. With Holani on IR, that leaves Kenneth Walker as the lone healthy running back on Seattle's active roster, and Velus Jones and Cam Akers are options to be elevated from the practice squad. Holani mostly contributed on special teams prior to landing on IR in late November due to a hamstring injury, and in the 11 regular-season games before his injury, he turned 22 carries into 73 yards and one touchdown while adding two catches (on as many targets) for 15 yards. If activated from IR, Holani would in be in line to slot in as the Seahawks' RB2 behind Walker.

Lands on IR The Seahawks placed Holani (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Holani was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Titans in Week 12. The injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve, which means Holani will be required to miss at least the next four games, making him eligible to make his return in Week 17 against the Panthers on Saturday, Dec. 27. Rashid Shaheed and Cody White will handle return duties on kickoffs in Holani's absence, and Cam Akers and Myles Gaskin will provide backfield depth behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

Ruled out for Week 13 Holani (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Holani didn't practice this week and is a candidate for injured reserve after he was injured against Tennessee last Sunday. Rashid Shaheed and Cody White will likely continue to handle kickoff-return duties for the Seahawks.

Candidate for injured reserve Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Holani (hamstring) could be placed on injured reserve, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Holani was forced to leave during the first half of Sunday's game against the Titans due to a hamstring, which prevented him from returning. The injury appears to be severe enough for him to warrant an extended absence, and he could be placed on injured reserve ahead of the Seahawks' Week 13 clash against the Vikings. With Kenny McIntosh (knee - IR) done for the year, Seattle may call up Velus Jones from the practice squad to serve as the RB3 behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet moving forward.

Won't return with hamstring injury Holani (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Holani sustained the injury in the first half, which has been deemed too severe by medical staff for him to return to Sunday's game. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet will be the two Seahawks running backs the rest of the way, and with Holani out and Dareke Young (quadriceps) on injured reserve, wide receivers Cody White and Rashid Shaheed should handle return duties on kickoffs.

Scores in blowout win Holani rushed seven times for 31 yards and a touchdown in the 44-22 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Impact Holani typically stays out of the offensive rotation, as he has played more than three offensive snaps just one other time this year, but the blowout nature of this game meant he handled 11 snaps, scoring his first regular-season touchdown in the process. The 25-year-old running back should revert to a special-teams role in Week 11 versus the Rams.

Rushes three times in win Holani rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders. He also returned two kicks for 29 yards.

Impact Holani carried the ball for the first time since Week 3, as the Seahawks got out to a convincing lead early. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet will continue to handle a bulk of the workload as long as they're healthy, while Holani should mostly stick to special teams in typical game scripts.

Sticks to special teams Holani returned three kicks for 74 yards in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Holani didn't play at all on offense with both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet in the lineup. Unless one of the two top running backs gets hurt, Holani's usage should remain strictly on special teams moving forward.

Earns 12 touches in blowout win Holani carried the ball 10 times for 27 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-13 rout of the Saints.

Impact Holani was elevated to No. 2 on the running back depth chart with Zach Charbonnet (foot) sitting out this contest. The 25-year-old Holani likely saw more touches than expected in a lopsided matchup that was decided by halftime. It is unclear if Charbonnet will return in time for Thursday's matchup against the Cardinals, but Holani is unlikely to generate fantasy buzz even if he is asked to serve as Kenneth Walker's primary backup again.

Role could increase Holani will serve as Kenneth Walker's backup if Zach Charbonnet (foot) is unable to play Sunday against New Orleans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Charbonnet enters Sunday's game against the Saints with a doubtful tag after failing to practice in any capacity during the week. The primary fantasy impact will be a big workload for Walker, but Holani could see his first offensive snaps and potentially carries of the season.

Sticking to special teams Holani returned five kicks for 133 yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.

Impact Holani hasn't played an offensive snap through two weeks, but he continues to make an impact on special teams. As long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are healthy, Holani's role should remain the same.
