Holani signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.
Holani wasn't able to supplant Kenny McIntosh for the No. 3 running back job behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet (undisclosed). Holani was invited back to Seattle's taxi squad after a strong training camp, and across three preseason games, he recorded 15 carries for 65 yards and two touchdowns while adding three catches (on four targets) for 15 yards. Holani, who signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent in April, would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should Walker, Charbonnet or McIntosh miss time.

Holani is competing with Kenny McIntosh for the Seahawks' No. 3 running back spot behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Meanwhile, McIntosh showcased a strong skill set at Georgia but didn't play an offensive snap as a rookie in 2023.
