Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that running back Zach Charbonnet will not play in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos. The Seahawks are coming off a narrow 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, where they committed four turnovers that contributed to their defeat. Charbonnet's absence is particularly problematic given the struggles the team has faced at the running back position, especially with rookie Jadarian Price on injured reserve. Without Charbonnet, Seattle will seek to rebound from their recent loss and improve their ground game moving forward.
