Overview
- On Thursday the Seahawks designated Zach Charbonnet to return to practice, starting a 21‑day window that lets the team evaluate him without adding him to the 53‑man roster.
- Under NFL reserve/PUP rules Charbonnet must miss at least four games so he is ineligible for Week 4 and must be activated within the 21‑day window or remain on PUP for the season.
- Julian Love practiced in a limited role and said he plans to play if he continues to recover, while Ty Okada returned to limited practice after a hamstring absence, giving the secondary more options for Sunday’s game.
- The running back room remains thin because rookie Jadarian Price did not practice Thursday with a chest issue and George Holani was limited with a rib injury, which raises the chance Emanuel Wilson or practice‑squad elevations handle more work if Charbonnet is not activated immediately.
- Macdonald has stressed the decision goes beyond Charbonnet’s health and is weighing practice ramp‑up, roster spots and an upcoming limited practice week, meaning Seattle could use the full evaluation window before making a roster move.
