Zach Charbonnet's Week 1 Return Could Be a Close Call

Tuesday, July 28, 11:46 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) could be in a close race to return for Week 1 as he recovers from a torn ACL, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Breer reports that Seattle intends to handle Charbonnet cautiously to ensure he is available when the team needs him most. The 25-year-old suffered the injury during the Seahawks' divisional-round victory over San Francisco, underwent surgery on Feb. 20, and opened training camp on the active/PUP list. Charbonnet rushed 184 times for 730 yards and a team-high 12 touchdowns across 16 regular-season games in 2025 while adding 20 receptions for 144 yards. His uncertain status makes first-round rookie Jadarian Price a pivotal figure in Seattle's early backfield plans. The Seahawks selected Price 32nd overall after he recorded 674 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 113 carries while complementing Jeremiyah Love at Notre Dame. Charbonnet can be activated from active/PUP at any point during camp, but his August progress will determine whether he is available for the season opener.

De'Von Achane Set for Heavy Workload in 2026

Monday, August 10, 6:29 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is set for a heavy workload in the 2026 season, according to head coach Jeff Hafley. Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, Hafley said, "[Achane] will never give a head tap. I said, don't worry, buddy." "After you touch the ball 40-45 times, I'm going to have to pick you up and carry you back to the locker room." In his third season, Achane had over 1,800 yards and 12 touchdowns on 305 attempts. With strong endorsement from his head coach, Achane may be in line for a larger workload in 2026. With defenses more focused on stopping Achane, he could be less inefficient than he's been over his three-year career. If his volume improves, he could threaten to be the RB1 overall this season.
