• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Nine touches in season debut

  Rotowire Nov 3, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) rushed six times for 23 yards and brought in three of four targets for six yards in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night. Charbonnet took the first carry of the night for Seattle, gaining an encouraging five yards on his first tote since tearing his ACL in a divisional-round win over the 49ers in January. Charbonnet also subsequently rattled off a 13-yard gain in the third quarter, but he was limited on his other touches and ultimately had four fewer rush attempts than Jadarian Price. Charbonnet's snap share and touches should gradually increase, and a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals could serve as a good platform for his workload to see a nice bump.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Works with starters in warmups

  Rotowire Nov 2, 2026

  Charbonnet was "the first running back getting handoffs" during warmups before Monday's game against the Bears, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Charbonnet is set to see his first action of the season Monday night, and with him first in line during warmups it appears he will jump right into Seattle's starting lineup. While Charbonnet will likely be the first man up in the backfield, he is coming off knee surgery and will be one of four Seahawks running backs available -- Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani being the others -- so it's unclear exactly what type of workload he will handle in his season debut.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Will play Monday

  Rotowire Oct 31, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bears, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Charbonnet has been officially cleared to make his 2026 regular-season debut, marking the end to his rehab from a torn ACL in his left knee that he sustained in mid-January during the Seahawks' playoff run. The Seahawks' backfield will be whole for the first time this season, seeing as both Charbonnet and Jadarian Price (chest) have been cleared to play Monday, with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani providing depth.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Practices in limited capacity

  Rotowire Oct 30, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Charbonnet opened Week 8 prep with a full practice Wednesday, which marked his fourth consecutive such listing on Seahawks injury reports. Having said that, his downgrade to limited could signify a setback of sorts as the running back seeks his first game action since Jan. 17, when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. Meanwhile, ellow RB Jadarian Price (chest), who was designated for return from injured reserve this week, went from limited Thursday to full Friday. In the end, Saturday's practice report will reveal both players odds to suit up Monday against the Bears.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Logs full practice Thursday

  Rotowire Oct 29, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Going back to last week, Charbonnet now has logged four straight full sessions, indicating that he's drawing closer to his first game action since tearing his left ACL on Jan. 17. Of course, the Seahawks didn't clear him to return this past Sunday against the Chiefs, and rookie first-round RB Jadarian Price (chest) was limited Thursday after the Seahawks designated him for return from IR, throwing another question mark into the potential backfield for Week 8. In any case, Charbonnet will have two more chances to prove his health before Seattle makes a ruling on his status ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Ruled out for Week 7

  Rotowire Oct 23, 2026

  Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Charbonnet (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. The Seahawks were required to activate Charbonnet from the reserve/PUP list by Thursday, as his 21-day practice window was going to expire, but despite logging a full week of practice, he won't make his 2026 debut Sunday. Macdonald also told Crabtree that Charbonnet hasn't had a setback, and the "plan was to get a great week's worth of work and see where we're at, and so we're gonna take it into next week." Charbonnet's next chance to suit up is Monday, Nov. 2, against the Bears, but in Week 7, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will continue to man Seattle's backfield.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Another full practice

  Rotowire Oct 22, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. In the midst of Seattle activating Charbonnet from the reserve/PUP list Thursday, Charbonnet now has strung together back-to-back uncapped sessions as he aims for his first game action since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee Jan. 17. In addition to head coach Mike Macdonald forecasting Charbonnet's "full week's worth of reps" Monday, he told Boyle that "you could see him on Sunday in some capacity." Even if Charbonnet is able to suit up this weekend against the Chiefs, he may enter a timeshare with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani off the bat instead of taking on a leading role.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Activated from PUP list

  Rotowire Oct 22, 2026

  The Seahawks activated Charbonnet (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Because Seattle opened his 21-day practice window Oct. 1, the team was required to activate him by Thursday afternoon, or else he'd need to remain on the PUP list for the rest of the season. Considering he finally logged a full practice Wednesday for the first time since tearing his left ACL on Jan. 17, he's closing in on a return to action. That doesn't necessarily mean Charbonnet will be cleared to play Sunday night against the Chiefs, but Friday's injury report will reveal his chances to do so.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: May debut Sunday night

  Rotowire Oct 19, 2026

  Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet (knee) is slated for a "full week of work" and has a "good chance" to play Sunday night against the Chiefs, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Since the Seahawks opened Charbonnet's practice window Oct. 1, he hasn't been listed as anything more than a limited participant. Macdonald's comments Monday indicate an upgrade in activity is likely, beginning Wednesday, as the team prepares for a Week 7 showdown with Kansas City. Timing also is at play here, as Seattle must activate Charbonnet from the reserve/PUP list by Wednesday afternoon for him to have any chance to play this season, which of course what is expected. If he's able to do enough to suit up this coming weekend, Charbonnet may not immediately take on a leading role, as Emanuel Wilson and George Holani currently are splitting the backfield reps.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Won't return in Week 6

  Rotowire Oct 14, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Denver, Corbin K. Smith of EmeraldCitySpectrum.com reports. The Seahawks opened Charbonnet's practice window to return from the reserve/PUP list on Oct. 1, but he's yet to log anything more than a limited practice since then. The team now has until next Thursday, Oct. 22 to activate him, or else he'll be required to miss the rest of the season by rule. Of course, Seattle does expect Charbonnet to play this season, so even if he isn't ready to play in Week 7, the move will be made next week. In the meantime, Emanuel Wilson will continue to lead the backfield, with George Holani backing him up.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Estimated as limited again

  Rotowire Oct 13, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) was estimated as a limited practice participant Tuesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. Charbonnet has been listed as limited for each of the first two estimated practice reports of Week 6 prep. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he sustained in January. However, seeing has he has yet to log a full practice since his 21-day evaluation window opened last week, Charbonnet should be considered a long shot to be reinstated from the Seahawks' reserve/PUP list before Thursday night's game against the Broncos. Week 7 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 25 figures to be a more appropriate return date for the fourth-year running back out of UCLA.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Limited to kick off Week 6 prep

  Rotowire Oct 12, 2026

  The Seahawks listed Charbonnet (knee) as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Charbonnet, who has been on the PUP list all season while recovering from the torn ACL he sustained last January, is entering his second week of practicing after Seattle opened his 21-day evaluation window Thursday. Considering that he's been listed as limited in all three of his practices to date, the Seahawks may want to see Charbonnet turn in a full week of full practices before activating him. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed as much Monday, reiterating that Charbonnet isn't expected to be reinstated ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos, per Gregg Bell of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR Seattle.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Won't debut Week 5

  Rotowire Oct 5, 2026

  Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet (knee) won't be activated from the PUP list in advance of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Seattle opened Charbonnet's 21-day practice window last Thursday, with the running back practicing on a limited basis for the team's final two sessions of Week 4 in what amounted to his first involvement in on-field drills since he tore the ACL in his left knee Jan. 17. Macdonald noted that Charbonnet will take another step forward in Week 5 by getting "team reps" in practices, but the 25-year-old looks like he'll still need some additional time after that to fully ramp up before making his 2026 debut. With rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price (chest) going on injured reserve this past Saturday, Emanuel Wilson took over as the Seahawks' lead back in the Week 4 win over the Chargers, finishing with 120 yards from scrimmage on 24 touches. Wilson will likely continue to carry the load out of the Seattle backfield until Charbonnet is activated.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Limited in both practices this week

  Rotowire Oct 2, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, John Boyle of seahawks.com reports. With Charbonnet still on the reserve/PUP list after being designated to return to practice Thursday, he remains ineligible for Week 4. Jadarian Price (chest) is also out for Seattle, leaving Emanuel Wilson and George Holani as the team's main RBs for a home game against the Chargers on Sunday.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: May practice next week

  Rotowire Sep 25, 2026

  Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Charbonnet (knee) returning to practice next week is potentially "on the table," Corbin Smith of SI.com reports. Charbonnet sits on the reserve/PUP list due to the left ACL tear he suffered in the divisional round on Jan. 17, meaning he must miss at least the first four games of the season. However, new rules for players on reserve/PUP allow players to practice as soon as Week 3 with the potential to return Week 5. If Charbonnet gets back on the practice field during Week 4 prep, he conceivably could return to action the next week, though the Seahawks likely will take a cautious approach considering the severity of the aforementioned injury.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Won't return to practice this week

  Rotowire Sep 23, 2026

  Head coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that the Seahawks won't open Charbonnet's (knee) practice window this week, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Charbonnet kicked off the season on the reserve/PUP list due to the left ACL tear that he sustained in the divisional round of the playoffs back on Jan. 17. Due to new rules for players on the reserve/PUP list, he's eligible to practice as soon as Week 3 prep and be activated for Week 5 action, but Seattle won't go that route with the running back just yet. Macdonald relayed to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune last Friday that the team is closing in on a decision for Charbonnet to resume practicing, so that appears to be on the horizon for the fourth-year pro. Jadarian Price (shoulder), Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will man the backfield until Charbonnet is ready for game action.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Progressing in rehab

  Rotowire Sep 7, 2026

  Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet (knee) looks "awesome" in his rehab from a torn ACL, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Macdonald added that Charbonnet looks "dang good." The running back is on reserve/PUP to begin the season and will miss at least the first four games, but it sounds like he could return sometime next month. Seattle's backfield picture remains murky with rookie Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson all options to see snaps. Adding Charbonnet's name to the mix will only muddy the picture. Price looks like the best bet for fantasy production, but the coaching staff has an affinity for Charbonnet, especially near the goal line.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Placed on PUP list

  Rotowire Jul 22, 2026

  The Seahawks have placed Charbonnet (knee) on the physically unable to perform list ahead of training camp, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. The move doesn't come as a surprise, as Charbonnet is coming back from February knee surgery. While a timetable has yet to be outlined for his return, coach Mike Macdonald has been impressed by the work that the running back has been putting in during his rehab process. "He's doing a great job," Macdonald said of Charbonnet last month. "I know he has high expectations for himself, and we're looking forward to seeing where it ends up." At this stage, the expectation is that Charbonnet will miss time out of the gate this season, but once he's ready to return to game action, the 2023 second-rounder will look to claim a key role in a Seahawks RB corps that no longer includes Kenneth Walker. For now, Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are the team's top healthy options at the position.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Looking at midseason return?

  Rotowire May 27, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) is realistically looking at a midseason return, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the Seahawks' divisional-round win over the 49ers a little over four months ago and is fully expected to miss the start of the 2026 campaign. Starting the season on the reserve/PUP list would seem to make the most sense, and that would at least cost Charbonnet the first four games of the regular season. Rookie Jadarian Price, free-agent pickup Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will likely all see snaps out of the Seattle backfield while Charbonnet is sidelined.

• Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Team drafts RB in Round 1

  Rotowire Apr 24, 2026

  Charbonnet (knee) will face increased competition for touches once he recovers from a torn ACL, as Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports that the Seahawks drafted Jadarian Price 32nd overall Thursday, The Seahawks lost running back Kenneth Walker in free agency but didn't take long to draft Walker's replacement, using the final selection of Thursday's first round on Price out of Notre Dame. Charbonnet split carries with Walker during the 2025 regular season, but Walker took on a workhorse role after Charbonnet tore his ACL in the NFC divisional-round win over the 49ers. Charbonnet's recovery is likely to stretch into the 2026 regular season, but if he can regain his pre-injury form, he'll likely return to a platoon role in a Seahawks backfield that also includes Price, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani.
