Corbin K. Smith reported that Seahawks starting RB Zach Charbonnet practiced in full on Wednesday for the first time since reconstructive knee surgery eight months ago. Additionally, Gregg Bell of Tacoma News Tribune reported that Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said if the week goes smoothly, Charbonnet has a good chance to make his season debut Sunday against the Chiefs.
This is fantastic news for a Seahawks ground game in desperate need of a spark. Fantasy football managers can finally look forward to activating Charbonnet (PlayerProfiler’s RB 25 in seasonal-redraft and rising) off their IR slots for Week 7 FLEX consideration. If Charbonnet isn’t cleared for Sunday, expect Emanuel Wilson and George Holani to share backfield duties, with Holani handling passing downs. ~Jason Diaz

According to Corbin, Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said the plan is not for RB Zach Charbonnet to play on Thursday night’s game against the Broncos. Macdonald explained that it would be “too tricky” for Charbonnet to return in time on a short week as he works his way back from knee surgery.
Charbonnet opened his 21-day practice window last week, but Seattle is taking a patient approach rather than rushing him back onto the field. Fantasy football managers can expect Charbonnet—currently PlayerProfiler’s RB40 and rising in seasonal-redraft formats—to target a return in Week 7, leaving Emanuel Wilson to lead the backfield in Week 6 after rushing for 61 yards and 1 TD in Week 5. ~Jason Diaz
An undrafted rookie out of UTSA, Robert Henry Jr. was signed off the Commanders’ practice squad and onto the Seahawks’ active roster today. With rookie RB Jadarian Price going on injured reserve and Zach Chabronnet still working his way back from a major knee injury, Henry arrives to bolster a shorthanded Seahawk backfield, filling in behind Emanuel Wilson, and George Holani.
Undersized for a bellcow role with a 28.9 BMI (28th percentile), Henry wins with burst over straight-line speed. His athletic testing reveals an 80th-percentile Burst Score (124.9) alongside an uninspiring 43rd-percentile Speed Score (93.9). Still, his collegiate efficiency at UTSA speaks for itself, boasting a 96th-percentile college YPC. Right now, he’s purely an injury-dependent handcuff behind the players ahead of him.
Two-time Pro Bowl RB Joe Mixon has signed with the Seahawks and reportedly will start on the practice squad. This comes two days after Mixon posted a hype video on X, proclaiming himself back. Mixon missed all of 2025 with a foot injury but was RB17 over 14 games in 2024.
This is an interesting landing spot for Mixon. Zach Charbonnet had his 21-day practice window open last week to return from IR, just as first rounder Jadarian Price was placed on IR. Emanuel Wilson is coming off of a game where he put up 120 total yards and 2 TDs in a workhorse role. Mixon is worth a speculative add in dynasty leagues but for redraft, fantasy football managers may not want to use much FAAB on him without a clear role rest of season. This could mean George Holani’s days are numbered as a rosterable asset.
First-round draft pick RB Jadarian Price has been placed on IR after aggravating his chest injury in practice this week. Price will now miss a minimum of four weeks.
While Zach Charbonnet had his practice window opened this week and will be returning soon, the team has 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster. Until then, it will be Emanuel Wilson and George Holani leading the Seahawks backfield while Price is out.
The Seahawks welcomed back Sam Darnold and Jadarian Price to practice this week with each respectively logging a full and limited practice sessions. Both players are on track to suit up for Sunday’s game in Washington.
Darnold has Top-12 QB upside against a lowly Commanders defense that has given up 224 passing yards and 30.5 points per game to NFL quarterbacks this season. Meanwhile, Price will lead a committee backfield as he splits time with third down specialist George Holani and the goal-line bruiser Emanuel Wilson.
