Zach Charbonnet Needs Knee Surgery, Out for Rest of Playoffs
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) suffered a significant knee injury in Saturday's Divisional Round win over the San Francisco 49ers and will require surgery, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. Charbonnet will miss the rest of the playoffs, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. It's a significant blow to Seattle's offense heading into the NFC Championship game this weekend against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. The 25-year-old had only five carries for 20 yards on Saturday before the injury, and he finished the regular season with career highs in rushing attempts (184), rushing yards (730), and rushing touchdowns (12) in 16 games played. Charb added 20 catches for 144 yards through the air. Kenneth Walker III should have a bigger role as the RB1 going forward, with Velus Jones Jr. expected to back him up as the RB2.
