The Seahawks designated RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) to return from the PUP list. He's now eligible to practice but can't play until Week 5. Charbonnet is about 8.5 months removed from tearing his ACL in the Divisional Round win over the 49ers.

Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price endured a brutal Week 3. Despite opening the game at Washington in the starting lineup, Price finished third among Seahawks RBs in playing time while collecting just 15 yards on 5 carries and 7 yards on his lone catch. Emanuel Wilson took a team-high 9 carries for just 14 yards (1.6 per rush), while George Holani posted a 3-10 rushing line and led the backfield in targets (5), receptions (5), and receiving yards (48).

Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that the team won't open RB Zach Charbonnet's 21-day practice window this week. Charbonnet is on the PUP list for at least 2 more games but is eligible to start practicing now. That's at least another week away, though, which presumably means that he won't be ready to play come Week 5. While the reporting on Charbonnet's rehab has been positive, we still don't have a timetable for his return. He's now a little over 8 months removed from his ACL year. Charbonnet is worth keeping stashed in deeper fantasy leagues but is a long shot to be a fantasy factor before the second half of the season.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet has been placed on the reserve PUP list, knocking him out for at least the first four games of the season as he continues to work back from his January ACL tear.

After missing a little over a week with a sore knee, Seahawks RB Jadarian Price returned to practice Monday and took "the majority of the reps with the 1s," per insider Brian Nemhauser.

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price missed his second straight practice on Saturday. HC Mike Macdonald said that the rookie is dealing with knee soreness and should be back in a few days. Price has been one of Seattle’s training-camp standouts, even flashing as a receiver despite being used there rarely in college. He’s expected to open as the starter, at least until Zach Charbonnet returns from his ACL injury.

Seahawks beat writer Gregg Bell expects new OC Brian Fleury to "feature" the RBs more prominently in the passing game this season. Seattle RBs saw a combined 14% target share last year, sixth-lowest league-wide.

SI's Albert Breer visited Seahawks training camp early this week and had an interesting take on the return timeline for RB Zach Charbonnet in his recovery from a January ACL tear. Charbonnet's currently on the physically unable to perform list but eligible to come off at any point the team deems him ready to practice. If he stays on the PUP throughout camp, the RB would be eligible to stay on the list into the season. That would cost him at least the first four games.

Multiple insiders expect the Seahawks to deploy another committee backfield in 2026. And that's even before RB Zach Charbonnet is ready to return from his torn ACL. Seattle spent the 32nd pick of this spring's draft on RB Jadarian Price, but RB George Holani and potentially RB Emanuel Wilson are also expected to factor in this season.

The Seahawks placed RB Zach Charbonnet on the Physically Unable to Perform list ahead of training camp. Charbonnet tore his left ACL in January during the Divisional Round, and return timelines have ranged from October to December. So this move isn't a surprise. He could come off the list at any point during camp, but that still appears unlikely. He could also open the regular season on the PUP list, which would sideline him for at least four games.

The Seattle News Tribune's Gregg Bell came away from the Seahawks' minicamp on Tuesday believing that RB Zach Charbonnet could be back from his torn ACL sooner than expected. Bell notes that HC Mike Macdonald said shortly after Charbonnet's surgery in mid-February that Charbonnet wouldn't do anything this spring. Yet there he was working off to the side of Tuesday's practice for about 15 minutes with trainers. Charbonnet was working through "lateral movement and other low-impact drills," according to Bell. It was the first time he was on the field in a practice open to the media this offseason. "Charbonnet’s work, albeit incremental, at this minicamp suggests he could be at the top of the plans Macdonald and new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury have for the start of the season," Bell wrote.

The Seattle Seahawks selected Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Price was overshadowed by Jeremiyah Love but clearly showed enough on that limited work. After rebounding from a ruptured Achilles in 2022, he displayed consistent burst, power, and efficiency. That produced 6.0 career yards per carry and 10.8 per catch (albeit on only 15 career receptions). The Athletic’s Dane Brugler went so far as to say Price may have generated Heisman buzz had he transferred out of Notre Dame for 2025. Instead, Price hits the NFL with limited wear on his body. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Price ranked 17th in 2025 rushing market share (27.5%) and third in yards after contact per attempt (3.92). He ranked second in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.28) and seventh in receiving yards per route run (1.23). He is currently 22 years old.

New Seahawks OC Brian Fleury was asked about his offense on Wednesday and said it'll look “very similar to the one that just won the Super Bowl.” Fleury worked with former Seahawks OC and new Raiders HC Klint Kubiak for one year in San Francisco under HC Kyle Shanahan. "Both of us were more influenced by Kyle than anything else," Fleury said of his relationship with Kubiak. "Klint's a good friend and a great football coach. Right away we bonded over similar views of football. How we see the game, what we think is important."

The Seahawks are hiring Brian Fleury as their new OC, according to multiple reports. Fleury spent the past seven seasons in San Francisco under HC Kyle Shanahan, working his way from defensive quality control coach to TEs coach and run game coordinator this past year. Fleury has never called plays at any level.
