Mike Macdonald confirms Zach Charbonnet remains on schedule for return

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald stated that running back Zach Charbonnet is meeting his internal recovery benchmarks following surgery for a torn ACL. Charbonnet, who sustained the injury during the team’s divisional-round win over the San Francisco 49ers in January, remains on an aggressive rehabilitation timeline. The Seahawks placed the running back on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, requiring him to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. This designation rules him out for contests against the New England Patriots, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Commanders, and Los Angeles Chargers. While Macdonald declined to share a specific target date, he characterized the running back's progress as positive. Seattle currently prepares to open its season without Charbonnet, relying on a backfield rotation of George Holani, Jadarian Price, and Emanuel Wilson.
