Seahawks Optimistic Zach Charbonnet's Knee is Structurally Intact
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that the team will need to get running back Zach Charbonnet's knee imaged, but they are "optimistic" that his knee is structurally intact, according to John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Charbonnet injured his knee in the first half of the Divisional Round blowout win over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night and never returned. The 25-year-old ended up with only five carries for 20 yards and wasn't involved at all in the passing game. Kenneth Walker III saw an expanded backfield role in the 41-6 rout after Charbonnet's injury, and he finished with 19 carries for a season-high 116 yards and three touchdowns. He added three catches for 29 yards. Even though Charb's knee may be structurally sound, it doesn't mean he'll be available for the NFC Championship next weekend against either the Bears or Rams. Velus Jones Jr. had the second-most carries (six) behind Walker after Charbonnet's injury on Saturday.
