Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet remains sidelined as he recovers from a torn ACL sustained during the team’s Divisional Round victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Following surgery on February 20, the team placed Charbonnet on the physically unable to perform list to start the 2026 season. Under current NFL rules, this designation mandates that he miss at least the first four games. Head coach Mike Macdonald described Charbonnet’s recovery progress as aggressive and stated that the running back looks promising in his rehab efforts. While no exact date is confirmed for his return to action, the team is targeting a mid-October comeback. This potential timeline suggests Charbonnet could be available for the rivalry matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on October 11.
