Seahawks rule Zach Charbonnet out after activating RB from PUP list ahead of showdown with Chiefs, Kenneth Walker III
Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks activated running back Zach Charbonnet from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list but announced he will not play in their Week 7 game against the Kansas City Chiefs as part of a planned gradual return.
- Charbonnet is recovering from a torn ACL suffered in last season's divisional-round playoff and the Seahawks are taking a cautious approach to his reintegration.
- Seattle's rushing offense ranks 14th in the NFL with 643 yards through six games, trailing individual performances like Kenneth Walker III, who leads the league with 665 rushing yards after joining the Chiefs.
- Kenneth Walker III, last season's Super Bowl MVP with the Seahawks, now plays for Kansas City and has shifted the Chiefs' offense toward a power-running style.
- Emanuel Wilson currently leads the Seahawks in rushing yards this season, while rookie Jadarian Price is expected to return from injury soon, providing additional depth behind Charbonnet.
