Charbonnet on track to meet return timetable

Key Points:
- Rookie RB Jadarian Price is expected to start as Seattle’s lead back in Week 1 due to Zach Charbonnet’s ACL recovery, with George Holani likely handling passing downs and third-down duties.
- Charbonnet remains on the PUP list and will miss at least the first four games of the season, though a mid-season return is possible depending on his rehab progress.
- Price missed preseason snaps and some practice time with muscle soreness but is anticipated to be fully available for Week 1, though his role may be limited by Holani and Charbonnet’s presence upon their return.
- Holani is viewed as a valuable pass-catching and blocking back on third downs, potentially serving as the primary receiving option in the Seahawks backfield until Charbonnet returns.
- The Seahawks may target additional running backs in the draft, with Arkansas RB Washington being a potential fit due to his agility and pass-catching skills, aligning with Seattle’s offensive scheme under coordinator Brian Fleury.
