Seahawks placed RB Zach Charbonnet on the Physically Unable to Perform list, meaning he now will miss at least the first Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: The Seattle Seahawks placed Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list, ruling him out for at least the first four games of 2026. He is recovering from offseason knee surgery after a torn ACL ended his playoff run.
