News: 1 day agoCharbonnet (knee) was designated to return to practice Thursday.

Spin: Thursday's move opens the 21-day window for Charbonnet to resume practicing, during which he can be added to the active roster. Charbonnet is ineligible to play against the Chargers on Sunday after being placed on the reserve/PUP list to begin the season, but he could suit up as soon as Week 5 against the 49ers if added to the roster. Jadarian Price (chest), Emanuel Wilson and George Holani (ribs) have held the fort at running back while Charbonnet works his way back from a torn ACL sustained last postseason.

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.
