Seahawks rule out Zach Charbonnet against Chiefs after PUP activation
Charbonnet has been activated from PUP, but Seattle will not play him Sunday night against Kansas City
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will not play Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, despite his activation from the physically unable to perform list this week.
The activation restored Charbonnet to Seattle's roster after his recovery from a knee injury, but it did not guarantee immediate game action. The Chiefs matchup will pass without his season debut.
Mike Macdonald told reporters Charbonnet has had no setback and that holding him out is part of the team's return plan, according to Bob Condotta. That distinction matters after the club activated him: Friday's ruling is a game-readiness decision, not a newly reported injury.
