Zach Charbonnet optimistic for Seahawks despite knee recovery
Summary

Zach Charbonnet's recovery from an ACL tear is progressing, raising hopes for his availability at the start of the Seattle Seahawks' season. As the team prepares for the upcoming schedule, Charbonnet is noted as a potential close call for Week 1, according to reports. The Seahawks may prioritize his readiness for later in the season, particularly the postseason. Currently recovering six months post-surgery, Charbonnet is expected to shoulder a significant portion of the rushing duties, especially with Kenneth Walker III having left for the Kansas City Chiefs. Jadarian Price, a 2026 first-round draft pick, is set to back him up if necessary.
