Seattle Seahawks place Zach Charbonnet on PUP list to start season

The Seattle Seahawks moved running back Zach Charbonnet to the physically unable to perform list as the team finalized its 53-man roster on Sunday. Charbonnet remains in recovery following ACL surgery, forcing him to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The team will rely on a running back group consisting of Jadarian Price, George Holani, and Emanuel Wilson during his absence. Under a modified NFL rule, Charbonnet may return to practice after the team completes its second game, potentially accelerating his recovery timeline compared to previous seasons. His earliest possible return to game action is in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers, though the team may choose to wait until Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Charbonnet is currently the only player from the initial roster cut to face this specific injury designation.
