The Seahawks finished Sunday's win over the Chargers with Pro-Bowl defensive tackle Leonard Williams sidelined by an ankle injury, but there is optimism that Williams will be back for Seattle's Week 5 game against the 49ers.
"We'll see. It's an ankle," Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said on his weekly radio show on Seattle Sports 710AM. "I'd say we're optimistic for the game, but we've got to see how the week goes."
Williams injured his ankle late in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Chargers, and after being tended to on the field by athletic trainers, he was able to walk off the field under his own power with a bit of a limp. Williams has missed only one game since joining the Seahawks in a 2023 trade.
One player who will not be ready to go against the 49ers, Macdonald said, is running back Zach Charbonnet. Charbonnet, who is on the physically unable to perform list, returned to practice last week, and is eligible to come off the PUP list as early as next week, but Macdonald said that won't happen.
Even so, the Seahawks like what they saw out of Charbonnet in his return to practice less than eight months after having surgery to repair the torn ACL he suffered in Seattle's divisional round win over the 49ers.
"I think we're off to a great start," Macdonald said. "He's going to get team reps this week, which is really exciting, and I know he's looking forward to it as well. To my amateur eye, he looks pretty dang good. In order to have that type of movement right now, the cutting ability and the change of direction, that speaks to the work he's put in to put himself in that situation. A lot of guys don't look like that coming off of a knee injury, and it's purely a function of just getting it done, and he's done that in a short amount of time."
Macdonald was asked about rookie running back Jadarian Price, who was placed on injured reserve on Saturday with a chest injury, and said he is impressed with the way the rookie is handling some early-career adversity.
"He's a tough son of a gun, and mentally, for being a young player, he's handling everything really well," Macdonald said. "I'm really impressed with how he's dealt with the injury and the adversity and things like that. It just makes me trust him even more."
