Tuesday, January 20, 2026- The Seattle Seahawks have confirmed that running back Zach Charbonnet will miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury, a major blow to the team’s playoff and Super Bowl aspirations. Head coach Mike Macdonald revealed that Charbonnet suffered the injury during Seattle’s 41‑6 divisional‑round win over the San Francisco 49ers, and further testing showed the damage was significant enough to end his season.
Charbonnet, 25, exits at a time when he was enjoying the best season of his young career, having rushed for 730 yards and a team‑leading 12 touchdowns in the regular season. Reports indicate the injury is a torn ACL, meaning he will undergo season‑ending knee surgery and face a lengthy rehabilitation process, likely extending into the 2026 season.
With Charbonnet sidelined, the Seahawks must lean heavily on Kenneth Walker III and other backs as they prepare for the NFC Championship Game and a potential Super Bowl run. Charbonnet’s absence removes a key part of Seattle’s powerful rushing attack, shifting offensive pressure to Walker and Seattle’s depth options as the team battles onward.
