Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet Undergoes ACL Surgery, Return Timeline Unknown

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet underwent surgery Friday to repair a torn ACL suffered during the NFC Divisional Round win against the 49ers on January 17. The recovery timeline is currently unknown, complicating the Seahawks' offseason decisions, especially with Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III's looming free agency. Charbonnet, a 2023 second-round pick, had a productive 2025 season with 730 rushing yards and a team-leading 12 touchdowns, plus 144 receiving yards. His absence could necessitate adding another running back, particularly if Walker departs.
