Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet went under the knife Friday to repair a torn ACL, more than a month after suffering the injury during playoff action.
The 25-year-old back damaged his left knee during Seattle’s January 17 NFC divisional playoff win against the San Francisco 49ers.
Although team officials haven’t provided a specific recovery timeline, Charbonnet will likely be sidelined for a significant chunk of the 2026 campaign.
During this past regular season, Charbonnet topped Seattle’s roster with 12 rushing touchdowns while finishing second on the team with 730 yards on the ground. This marked his third year with the Seahawks after being selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Running mate Kenneth Walker III, who typically shares backfield duties with Charbonnet, stepped up during the playoffs in his teammate’s absence. Walker went on to earn Super Bowl LX MVP recognition, though he’s expected to hit free agency.
Walker paced the Seahawks with 1,027 rushing yards and contributed five touchdowns during the regular season.
