Mandatory Credit: Neville E. Guard-Imagn Images Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is set for season-ending knee surgery, Seattle coach Mike Macdonald told 710 Seattle Sports on Monday.
Charbonnet, 25, was injured during Saturday's 41-6 divisional playoff win against the San Francisco 49ers. ESPN reported he suffered a torn ACL.
Macdonald initially said after the game that he was optimistic about Charbonnet, who didn't play in the second half.
Charbonnet led the team in rushing touchdowns (12) and was second in rushing yards (730) in the regular season, his third with the Seahawks since he was a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
He carried the ball five times for 20 yards on Saturday before the injury. Kenneth Walker III, with whom Charbonnet normally splits carries, filled the void with a 116-yard, three-touchdown performance on the ground in the runaway victory.
Walker led the team in rushing yards (1,027) and had five touchdowns during the regular season.
The Seahawks will look to advance to their first Super Bowl since the 2014 season when they host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.
