The Seattle Seahawks have officially waived running back Anthony Hankerson. This decision was made on Monday, August 24, 2026, prior to the team's final preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Hankerson, a 22-year-old player, had a notable collegiate career at Oregon State, where he rushed for over 1,000 yards in 2025. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Miami Dolphins in May 2026 but was later released by them in August. Hankerson then joined the Seahawks' training camp.
During the Seahawks' preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 2, Hankerson had limited action. He carried the ball five times for 10 yards and also added nine receiving yards. Following his release, Hankerson is now a free agent and can sign with any other NFL team if he is not claimed off waivers. The Seahawks' running back unit will proceed with players like Jadarian Price, Zach Charbonnet, and George Holani.
