Seahawks work out ex-Oregon State back Anthony Hankerson

Miami waived him before this Seattle tryout

What happened: Anthony Hankerson worked out with the Seattle Seahawks over the weekend, per the NFL's transaction wire, after being waived by the Miami Dolphins, who had signed him as an undrafted free agent. Hankerson rushed for back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons at Oregon State following his 2024 transfer.

Why it matters: Seattle's backfield is thin behind Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and Jacardia Wright, none of whom played in Saturday's 17-7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys because of injuries. George Holani, T.J. Harden and Justin Jones covered the workload in their absence, and the Seahawks are still evaluating depth options at the position.

By the numbers: Hankerson topped 1,000 rushing yards in each of his two Oregon State seasons, the first Beavers back to do so in consecutive years since Jacquizz Rodgers. He was the primary replacement for Damien Martinez, now on the Green Bay Packers, after Martinez left Oregon State.

What to watch: Seattle could make a decision on signing Hankerson as soon as Monday's practice, with the recovery timelines for Price, Wilson and Wright still unclear ahead of this week's game against the Tennessee Titans.
