Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Zach Charbonnet (knee) won’t play in Seattle’s Week 5 game against the 49ers.

05 October 2026

Charbonnet’s practice window was opened this past week, and based on Macdonald saying this, it sounds like he’ll be using most of the 21-day window to practice before his return. Macdonald did say that Charbonnet will start receiving team reps in practice this week, perhaps opening a door for a Week 6 return. Emanuel Wilson will head the committee in Seattle until Charbonnet’s return.
