Seahawks’ George Holani Clears Path for Practice Return

George Holani has been cleared to return to practice, providing the Seattle Seahawks with a boost ahead of the NFC Championship Game. This comes after the team lost running back Zach Charbonnet to a knee injury, creating a gap in their offensive lineup.

George Holani’s Injury Status

Holani began the season as the Seahawks’ third-string running back and was also a vital contributor on special teams. He suffered a hamstring injury during Week 12 in a victory against the Tennessee Titans, which led to his placement on injured reserve.

Holani’s Season Performance

  • Rushing Yards: 73 yards on 22 carries
  • Touchdowns: 1 rushing touchdown
  • Receiving: 2 catches for 15 yards
  • Kickoff Returns: 387 yards on 16 returns
  • Tackles: 3, including a touchdown during a recovery in Week 2 against the Steelers

His early-season performance has shown he can make a significant impact, especially during crucial games.

Upcoming NFC Championship Game

The Seahawks are preparing to face the Rams in the NFC Championship Game this Sunday. Coach Mike Macdonald stated that Holani is a potential option for the game, depending on how well he performs in practices this week. The team hopes his return will strengthen the running back position after Charbonnet’s season-ending ACL injury in their recent game against the 49ers.

Seattle is looking for any advantage they can get, and Holani’s possible comeback offers hope for their offensive strategy in the championship matchup.
