Seahawks expect Zach Charbonnet's return to boost offense against Chiefs
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks anticipate running back Zach Charbonnet's return for their Week 7 matchup against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Charbonnet, who has been recovering from an ACL injury, was designated to return to practice earlier this month. The Seahawks are looking for improved offensive performance after a frustrating start to the season, currently sitting at 3-3 following an overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. Coach Mike Macdonald highlighted the team's need for a consistent running game, which Charbonnet aims to provide. His potential return could alleviate pressure on quarterback Sam Darnold and enhance the team's offensive stability.
