Seahawks waive UDFA RB Anthony Hankerson
The Seahawks move on from Hankerson following the team’s second preseason matchup against the Titans.
The Seattle Seahawks terminated running back Anthony Hankerson's contract on Monday, according to ESPN’s Brady Henderson, before their final preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Hankerson, who rushed for 1,086 yards in 2025 while playing for Oregon State before becoming an undrafted free agent, was signed by the Dolphins in May.
He was subsequently waived by the Dolphins in August before joining the Seahawks during training camp. The 22-year-old rushed for only 10 yards on five carries, and also contributed nine receiving yards in the Seahawks' 19-16 defeat to the Tennessee Titans in the preseason's Week 2. This occurred prior to Hankerson's waiver by the Seahawks.
The team will now proceed with a running back squad comprised of Jadarian Price, Zach Charbonnet, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones Jr., and Jacardia Wright. Should Hankerson not be claimed off waivers, he will be available to sign with another team as a free agent.
