Seahawks' running game struggles in 34-17 home loss to the Bears

The Seahawks returned two key pieces in their backfield and had a new big name on the offensive line

5 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Nine touches in season debut Charbonnet (knee) rushed six times for 23 yards and brought in three of four targets for six yards in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Impact Charbonnet took the first carry of the night for Seattle, gaining an encouraging five yards on his first tote since tearing his ACL in a divisional-round win over the 49ers in January. Charbonnet also subsequently rattled off a 13-yard gain in the third quarter, but he was limited on his other touches and ultimately had four fewer rush attempts than Jadarian Price. Charbonnet's snap share and touches should gradually increase, and a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals could serve as a good platform for his workload to see a nice bump.

LISTEN: Zach Charbonnet With A 13 Yard Run Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet runs for a 13-yard gain on Monday against the Chicago Bears at Lumen Field.

5 DAYS AGO • SEAHAWKS.COM

Works with starters in warmups Charbonnet was "the first running back getting handoffs" during warmups before Monday's game against the Bears, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Charbonnet is set to see his first action of the season Monday night, and with him first in line during warmups it appears he will jump right into Seattle's starting lineup. While Charbonnet will likely be the first man up in the backfield, he is coming off knee surgery and will be one of four Seahawks running backs available -- Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani being the others -- so it's unclear exactly what type of workload he will handle in his season debut.

Will play Monday Charbonnet (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bears, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Charbonnet has been officially cleared to make his 2026 regular-season debut, marking the end to his rehab from a torn ACL in his left knee that he sustained in mid-January during the Seahawks' playoff run. The Seahawks' backfield will be whole for the first time this season, seeing as both Charbonnet and Jadarian Price (chest) have been cleared to play Monday, with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani providing depth.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Practices in limited capacity Charbonnet (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Charbonnet opened Week 8 prep with a full practice Wednesday, which marked his fourth consecutive such listing on Seahawks injury reports. Having said that, his downgrade to limited could signify a setback of sorts as the running back seeks his first game action since Jan. 17, when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. Meanwhile, ellow RB Jadarian Price (chest), who was designated for return from injured reserve this week, went from limited Thursday to full Friday. In the end, Saturday's practice report will reveal both players odds to suit up Monday against the Bears.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Thursday Charbonnet (knee) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Going back to last week, Charbonnet now has logged four straight full sessions, indicating that he's drawing closer to his first game action since tearing his left ACL on Jan. 17. Of course, the Seahawks didn't clear him to return this past Sunday against the Chiefs, and rookie first-round RB Jadarian Price (chest) was limited Thursday after the Seahawks designated him for return from IR, throwing another question mark into the potential backfield for Week 8. In any case, Charbonnet will have two more chances to prove his health before Seattle makes a ruling on his status ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.

Seattle RB Chabonnet won't return this weekend against the Chiefs

The anticipated return of Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet won’t happen this weekend against the Kansas City Chiefs

OCTOBER 24 • Associated Press

Ruled out for Week 7 Head 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.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Another full practice Charbonnet (knee) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact In the midst of Seattle activating Charbonnet from the reserve/PUP list Thursday, Charbonnet now has strung together back-to-back uncapped sessions as he aims for his first game action since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee Jan. 17. In addition to head coach Mike Macdonald forecasting Charbonnet's "full week's worth of reps" Monday, he told Boyle that "you could see him on Sunday in some capacity." Even if Charbonnet is able to suit up this weekend against the Chiefs, he may enter a timeshare with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani off the bat instead of taking on a leading role.

Deadspin | Seahawks activate RB Zach Charbonnet from PUP list Deadspin | Seahawks activate RB Zach Charbonnet from PUP list

OCTOBER 22 • DEADSPIN.COM

Activated from PUP list The Seahawks activated Charbonnet (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Because Seattle opened his 21-day practice window Oct. 1, the team was required to activate him by Thursday afternoon, or else he'd need to remain on the PUP list for the rest of the season. Considering he finally logged a full practice Wednesday for the first time since tearing his left ACL on Jan. 17, he's closing in on a return to action. That doesn't necessarily mean Charbonnet will be cleared to play Sunday night against the Chiefs, but Friday's injury report will reveal his chances to do so.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Wednesday Charbonnet (knee) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Corbin K. Smith of EmeraldCitySpectrum.com reports.

Impact Charbonnet finally achieved the ever elusive full listing on the Seahawks' injury report since the team opened his practice window Oct. 1. Head coach Mike Macdonald told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune on Monday that Charbonnet was in line for a "full week of work" and has a "good chance" to make his season debut Sunday versus the Chiefs. Wednesday's activity generally is a good sign on that direction, but Seattle likely wants Charbonnet to string together multiple uncapped sessions before giving him the all-clear for his first game action since Jan. 17, when he tore the ACL in his left knee.

Can Seahawks Be Kenneth Walker's Kryptonite? Why Sunday Could Flip Narrative On Chiefs RB

May debut Sunday night Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet (knee) is slated for a "full week of work" and has a "good chance" to play Sunday night against the Chiefs, Gregg Bell of The...

Impact Since the Seahawks opened Charbonnet's practice window Oct. 1, he hasn't been listed as anything more than a limited participant. Macdonald's comments Monday indicate an upgrade in activity is likely, beginning Wednesday, as the team prepares for a Week 7 showdown with Kansas City. Timing also is at play here, as Seattle must activate Charbonnet from the reserve/PUP list by Wednesday afternoon for him to have any chance to play this season, which of course what is expected. If he's able to do enough to suit up this coming weekend, Charbonnet may not immediately take on a leading role, as Emanuel Wilson and George Holani currently are splitting the backfield reps.
