Seahawks Rule Out Zach Charbonnet for Playoffs, Designate George Holani to Return

Seattle turns to Kenneth Walker III as the workhorse for the NFC Championship.

Overview

  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said Charbonnet suffered a significant knee injury that requires surgery, with multiple outlets reporting a torn ACL.
  • The injury occurred in the 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers, where Charbonnet logged five carries for 20 yards before exiting.
  • Seattle designated running back George Holani for return to practice this week, positioning him as a possible depth addition before Sunday.
  • Walker is the only healthy running back on the 53-man roster and is expected to carry the load after rushing for 116 yards and three touchdowns against San Francisco.
  • Velus Jones Jr. and Cam Akers are practice-squad options for elevation as the Seahawks face the Rams in the NFC title game.
