Overview
- The Seahawks designated running back Zach Charbonnet to return to practice on Thursday, opening a 21-day evaluation period that must end with either activation to the 53-man roster or retention on PUP.
- Because Charbonnet began the season on reserve/PUP, he remains ineligible for Week 4 and cannot play until at least Week 5 unless the team adds him to the active roster after the evaluation.
- Safety Julian Love returned to limited practice and said he feels good and plans to play Sunday if his recovery continues to progress, giving Seattle a likely boost in coverage and communication.
- Ty Okada also returned to limited practice for the first time this regular season, while rookie running back Jadarian Price did not practice Thursday with a chest issue, leaving Emanuel Wilson and George Holani to shoulder more immediate work.
- Charbonnet’s return window matters because he was Seattle’s short-yardage and red-zone finisher in 2025, so how he ramps up will shape roster choices, snap distribution in the backfield, and Seattle’s game plans over the next three weeks.
