The Seahawks have designated Zach Charbonnet to return from the physically unable to perform list, per multiple reports. The designation was announced Thursday morning, clearing the running back to begin practicing.
Charbonnet has been sidelined since tearing his ACL in the 2026 Divisional Round, according to reporting. Per NFL Trade Rumors, he will have a 21-day window in which he can practice without the designation counting toward his return. Under that timeline, Charbonnet must miss Week 4 but will be eligible to return to game action in Week 5.
One of the Seahawks' key offensive players, Charbonnet has been recovering for the past eight months, per Field Gulls.
