Mandatory Credit: Kevin Ng-Imagn Images Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet underwent surgery to repair his torn ACL on Friday, nearly five weeks after he sustained the injury.
Charbonnet, 25, injured his left knee in the Jan. 17 NFC divisional-round victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
While a definitive timeframe for his return has yet to be announced, it stands to reason that Charbonnet likely will miss a fair portion of the 2026 season.
He led the team in rushing touchdowns (12) and was second in rushing yards (730) this past regular season, his third with the Seahawks since he was a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Kenneth Walker III, with whom Charbonnet normally splits carries, excelled in his absence during the playoffs. He went on to capture Super Bowl LX MVP honors, however he is in line to be a free agent.
Walker led the team in rushing yards (1,027) and had five touchdowns during the regular season.
