Charbonnet’s Return Delayed As Seahawks Hold Him Back

The Seattle Seahawks are not starting Zach Charbonnet this Thursday. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed the team does not expect the running back to play against the Denver Broncos. This decision stands despite the player opening his practice window last week. The team leaves the door open for a later return, but the immediate plan is to sit him out. Fantasy managers need to know the exact timeline before making any moves. Charbonnet has not played a single snap in 2026. He suffered a torn ACL during the postseason back in January.
