Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet and Arizona Cardinals starting left tackle Paris Johnson are on their teams' active rosters for Thursday night's game in Glendale, Ariz.

Charbonnet was cleared to play after sitting out Seattle's 44-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints this past weekend with a foot injury. He was listed as questionable to play in Thursday's game after serving as a full participant in practice on Monday through Wednesday.

Charbonnet, 24, has rushed for just 57 yards on 27 carries with one touchdown in two games this season.

Kenneth Walker III found the end zone on two occasions against the Saints. He leads the Seahawks in rushing yards (163) and rushing touchdowns (three).


Johnson was a limited participant in each practice this week after he sat out Arizona's 16-15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday due to a knee injury and was listed as questionable for Thursday's game.

Johnson, 24, has started all 33 games in which he has played since the Cardinals selected him with the sixth overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.

Like Arizona (2-1), Seattle also fell short against San Francisco. The Seahawks (2-1) responded to that 17-13 season-opening loss with victories over the Pittsburgh Steelers and Saints.

The Seahawks' inactives: safety Nick Emmanwori (ankle), offensive linemen Mason Richman and Josh Jones (ankle), linebackers Jared Ivey and Connor O'Toole, tight end Nick Kallerup and wide receiver Cody White.

The Cardinals' inactives: cornerback Will Johnson (groin), wide receiver Zay Jones (concussion), offensive linemen Will Hernandez (knee) and Demontrey Jacobs, linebacker Xavier Thomas and tight end Travis Vokolek.
