The John Schneider Show on Seattle Sports Radio
Late in the 2025 season, the Seahawks lost running back Zach Charbonnet to injury and has since had surgery to repair a torn ACL. On his weekly radio show, Seahawks general manager/president of football operations John Schneider said the outlook for Charbonnet is "very positive."
"If it was up to Charb (Zach Charbonnet), he probably would have just braced it up and played in the last two games. He's a true pro. He's so strong and his work ethic is outstanding. The surgery went very well and the outlook is good. I'm sure he's going to attack his rehab like anything else he does."
