Seattle Seahawks running back\u00a0Zach Charbonnet\u00a0suffered\u00a0a January ACL tear\u00a0and underwent\u00a0surgery\u00a0on Feb. 20, which would presumably knock him out into the 2026 NFL season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, in giving an update on the RB on Wednesday, coach Mike Macdonald wouldn’t rule out Charbonnet being ready for the start of the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Everything’s possible,” Macdonald said Wednesday,\u00a0via Seattle Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charbonnet generated 730 yards and 12 touchdowns on 148 carries in 16 games in 2025, pairing nicely with former starter\u00a0Kenneth Walker III. Charbonnet’s playoff injury, coupled with Walker leaving for Kansas City in free agency, left the Seahawks with significant backfield questions entering the offseason. Seattle drafted Notre Dame’s\u00a0Jadarian Price\u00a0in the\u00a0first round\u00a0and added ex-Packers RB\u00a0Emanuel Wilson\u00a0to go along with\u00a0George Holani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Macdonald was asked whether Charbonnet was ahead of schedule or simply on a standard pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If you’re going to guess what type of schedule Zach Charbonnet would be on, that’s the type of schedule he’s on,” Macdonald said. “Doing a great job. I know he has high expectations for himself. Look forward to see where it ends up.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even with Macdonald’s cautious optimism, given the timing of the injury, it would be a surprise if the running back was ready for the start of the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
