News: 10 hours agoHead coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Charbonnet (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Spin: The Seahawks were required to activate Charbonnet from the reserve/PUP list by Thursday, as his 21-day practice window was going to expire, but despite logging a full week of practice, he won't make his 2026 debut Sunday. Macdonald also told Crabtree that Charbonnet hasn't had a setback, and the "plan was to get a great week's worth of work and see where we're at, and so we're gonna take it into next week." Charbonnet's next chance to suit up is Monday, Nov. 2, against the Bears, but in Week 7, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will continue to man Seattle's backfield.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Charbonnet would've been entering his fourth NFL season as the clear lead back in Seattle, but a torn ACL during the team's playoff game against the 49ers has put his 2026 campaign in jeopardy. It's a tough break for the 2020 second-round NFL draft pick, who set career-high marks in touches (204) while ranking fifth among backs in rushing touchdowns (12) and carries inside the 5-yard line (16) last season. Charbonnet's minimal receiving role (career-low 24 targets) limited him to 11.3 fantasy points per game, however, and he has yet to deliver a top-20 fantasy campaign. Kenneth Walker III is gone, but first-round rookie Jadarian Price could very well cement himself a big offensive role by the time Charbonnet is healthy. The 25-year-old is worth only a late-round lottery ticket.
