SEATTLE (AP) 鈥� The Seattle Seahawks will appear on the HBO show 鈥淗ard Knocks鈥� ahead of the 2026 NFL season, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the Seahawks nor the NFL had formally announced the agreement to have the team on the league鈥檚 training camp documentary. The NFL鈥檚 behind-the-scenes show is in its 26th year.
The Seahawks didn’t have to participate in 鈥淗ard Knocks鈥� for many years because of a rule giving a team the option if they made the playoffs each of the previous two seasons. That rule was changed a year ago.
Seattle has a handful of intriguing storylines ahead of the 2026 season. The Seahawks let running back and Super Bowl MVP (Chiefs), safety (Bears), linebacker (Bengals), cornerback (Eagles) and wide receiver Dareke Young (Raiders) all move on from the franchise in free agency.
It is also unclear how Seattle intends to replace Walker鈥檚 production, whether that鈥檚 by committee with the likes of Emanuel Wilson, who was signed in free agency after three seasons with the Green Bay Packers, George Holani and Kenny McIntosh, or if the injured Zach Charbonnet will become the main option once he鈥檚 healthy.
Coach Mike Macdonald told reporters at the NFL鈥檚 annual league meeting in Arizona that the Seahawks are expecting to have Charbonnet back at some point during the season.
