Key Points:

  • Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet suffered a significant knee injury, likely an ACL tear, ruling him out of the NFC Championship Game and potentially the Super Bowl if Seattle advances.
  • Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Charbonnet will require surgery and face a lengthy recovery, possibly extending into the 2026 season.
  • Charbonnet had a productive regular season with 730 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 184 carries before his injury in the win over the 49ers.
  • Kenneth Walker is expected to take over as the lead running back for the Seahawks moving forward, with Velus Jones and practice squad member Cam Akers providing additional depth.
