Charbonnet Set to Return; Several Seahawks Linebackers Out
22 Oct
Summary
- Running back Zach Charbonnet is expected to return after recovering from a torn ACL.
- Multiple linebackers, including Drake Thomas, did not practice due to injuries.
- Quarterback Drew Lock is limited with a right elbow injury.
The Seattle Seahawks have released their first injury report following their loss to the Denver Broncos, with news that is both encouraging and concerning as they prepare to face the Kansas City Chiefs. Running back Zach Charbonnet is expected to make his return to the field, having fully participated in practice. He had been sidelined rehabbing a torn ACL sustained during last year's playoff run. His presence could revitalize a Seahawks running game that has struggled recently.
On the defensive side, the outlook is less positive. Four linebackers, excluding DeMarcus Lawrence who was rested, did not practice. Drake Thomas, Connor O'Toole, and Chazz Surratt are dealing with injuries to their ankles, hamstrings, and calves, respectively. Tyrice Knight, Thomas' backup, was limited with an oblique injury. This situation is particularly worrying given the formidable task of defending against the Chiefs' star running back.
Other offensive players also appeared on the injury report. Guard Anthony Bradford, who recently returned from injured reserve, was a limited participant, as is expected to be available. Quarterback Drew Lock was limited with a right elbow injury, and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was limited due to a hip issue. Lock's status may attract attention given calls for him to replace Sam Darnold as starting quarterback.
