SEATTLE (AP) 鈥� Seattle Seahawks reserve running back George Holani and rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo were activated from injured reserve Friday morning ahead of Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Los Angeles Rams.
The 26-year-old Holani landed on injured reserve after injuring his hamstring during against the Tennessee Titans on Nov. 23.
鈥淚t feels great to be back with the guys,鈥� Holani said before Wednesday鈥檚 practice. 鈥淏een a while, so I鈥檓 excited to get back out there.鈥�
Holani, who rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in the regular season, could serve as the backup to Kenneth Walker III. Running back Zach Charbonnet, who led the Seahawks with 12 rushing touchdowns during the regular season, that requires surgery. Holani鈥檚 potential return could be key for the Seahawks.
鈥淵eah, George is in great shape,鈥� coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday. 鈥淲orking his tail off. Excited to get him out there.”
Arroyo, a second-round pick out of Miami in the 2025 draft, missed the final four games of the regular season and in the divisional round with a knee injury. To make room for Holani and Arroyo on the active roster, Charbonnet and guard Bryce Cabeldue were placed on injured reserve.
