Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet Exits With Knee Injury in Divisional Win, Imaging Pending

His status now looms large for Seattle’s two-back rushing plan entering the NFC Championship.

Overview

  • Charbonnet injured his left knee on a second-quarter run against the 49ers, went to the medical tent, walked to the locker room, and did not return.
  • Seattle officially listed him as questionable to return during the game before he remained out for the remainder of the contest.
  • Before exiting, he logged five carries for 20 yards as part of the Seahawks’ early ground success.
  • Kenneth Walker III assumed the lead role after the injury, with Velus Jones Jr. taking late-game carries.
  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said he is optimistic about Charbonnet’s structural outlook but emphasized that imaging will determine severity, a key consideration given other backs are on injured reserve.
