The Story in 60 Seconds

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald announced that running back Zach Charbonnet's 21-day practice window is set to open. Charbonnet has been recovering from reconstructive knee surgery after tearing his ACL during the divisional round of the 2025 playoffs. The move allows him to practice while remaining on the PUP list as Seattle prepares for an upcoming stretch of games.

Seattle must activate Charbonnet to the 53-man roster within the three-week window or keep him on injured reserve for the season. Charbonnet is eligible to return as early as Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers, which writer Ross Johnston notes could provide vital offensive reinforcement alongside rookie Jadarian Price.
