Seahawks Keep Zach Charbonnet Out for Week 6 at Denver

Coach Mike Macdonald said Charbonnet is still ramping up from a torn ACL so the backup runners will carry the load on a short road week.

Overview

  • Macdonald confirmed Monday that Charbonnet will not play Thursday in Denver, saying the running back is not yet ready after rehabbing a torn ACL.
  • Seattle lost 32-29 to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, and four turnovers in that game produced 21 points for San Francisco.
  • The Seahawks rushed for just 89 yards against the 49ers, with Emanuel Wilson accounting for 61 of those yards and also losing a fumble.
  • Rookie Jadarian Price is on injured reserve, so Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, Velus Jones Jr., and Robert Henry Jr. will handle carries in Charbonnet’s absence.
  • The short turnaround to Thursday and Charbonnet’s cautious 21-day practice ramp raise the risk of continued rushing struggles and turnover damage in upcoming games against Denver and Kansas City.
