Seahawks’ Zach Charbonnet Undergoes Season-Ending Knee Surgery
In a disappointing turn of events for the Seattle Seahawks, running back Zach Charbonnet has been sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a significant knee injury. This was confirmed by head coach Mike Macdonald following their recent victory against the San Francisco 49ers.
Zach Charbonnet’s Injury Report
After initial optimism about Charbonnet’s condition, further tests revealed the severity of his injury. Macdonald stated on Seattle Sports that Charbonnet will miss not only the NFC Championship Game but also the potential Super Bowl appearance if the Seahawks advance by defeating the Rams.
Details of the Injury
- Coach Macdonald revealed that Charbonnet will require surgery.
- While the exact details were not specified, reports indicate he may have torn his ACL.
- If confirmed, his recovery could extend into the 2026 season.
Charbonnet had been a valuable contributor for the Seahawks. During the regular season, he recorded 184 carries, accumulating 730 rushing yards and scoring 12 touchdowns. In the recent game against the 49ers, he had five carries for 20 yards.
Impact on the Seahawks’ Roster
With Charbonnet out, Kenneth Walker is set to take on the role of the lead running back for the Seahawks. The team also has Velus Jones listed on the 53-man roster, alongside veteran Cam Akers, who is currently on the practice squad.
This injury adds a challenging obstacle for the Seahawks as they navigate the postseason, relying on the remaining players to step up in Charbonnet’s absence.
