The Seattle Seahawks concluded their final rounds of roster cuts following their 9-9 preseason finale tie against the Kansas City Chiefs. They have also officially set their 53-man roster as they gear up to take on the New England Patriots to kick off the 2026 NFL season in Week 1. However, on their roster you will only see three running backs: Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson.
Unfortunately, the reason for this is because the Seahawks have placed their otherwise presumed starting running back Zach Charbonnet on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. This is unsurprising, considering Charbonnet suffered his ACL injury during the 41-6 blowout victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Given how late in the season this occurred, the beginning of the season was always going to be off the table for Charbonnet. Still, it's a cold splash of reality to see it actually come to fruition.
Charbonnet was one of the more critical, yet perhaps a little underrated, cogs in the Seahawks' offensive machine last season. The former UCLA product had 730 rushes and 12 rushing touchdowns. In fact, Charbonnet became the first Seattle running back to have double-digit rushing touchdowns since Marshawn Lynch had 13 during the 2014 campaign.
Of course, arguably the most important play of the season was Charbonnet's heads up decision to pick up the ball during Seattle's comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams. This was later ruled to be a successful two-point conversion which tied the game, and the Seahawks would eventually go on to win in overtime.
Charbonnet will miss games against the Patriots, Cardinals, Commanders and Chargers. The earliest he could be allowed to return will be the Week 5 home game against the San Francisco 49ers, but even that feels unlikely. Seahawks Wire will continue to monitor his health status moving forward.
