Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet underwent surgery to repair his torn ACL ​on Friday, nearly five ‌weeks after he sustained the injury.

Charbonnet, 25, injured his left knee in the Jan. 17 NFC divisional-round victory ‌over ​the San Francisco ⁠49ers.

While a definitive ⁠timeframe for his return has yet to be announced, it stands to reason that Charbonnet ​likely will miss a fair portion of the 2026 ⁠season.

He led the ⁠team in rushing touchdowns (12) ​and was second in rushing yards (730) ​this past regular season, his ‌third with the Seahawks since he was a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Kenneth ⁠Walker III, with whom Charbonnet normally splits carries, excelled in his absence during ⁠the ‌playoffs. He went on ⁠to capture Super Bowl ​LX ‌MVP honors, however he ​is in ⁠line to be a free agent.

Walker led the team in rushing yards (1,027) and had five touchdowns during the regular season.
