Sidesteps injury report
Charbonnet (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Seattle injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Charbonnet missed practice Aug. 14 due to undisclosed tightness, and while he returned to drills Aug. 20, he wasn't wearing pads during that session. A little more than two weeks later, he was able to handle every on-field rep, indicating his health is up to par for Sunday's season opener versus the Broncos. Charbonnet again will take a back seat to No. 1 back Kenneth Walker in Seattle's offense in the upcoming campaign, a reality that contained him to 141 touches for 671 yards from scrimmage…read more

Back in pads, no team drills
Charbonnet (undisclosed) practiced Tuesday but was held out from team drills, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Charbonnet has been sidelined due to an undisclosed injury described by the team only as "tightness" since last Wednesday, so it's encouraging to see him get some on-field work in while wearing full pads. The second-year running back is expected to sit out Saturday's preseason finale against the Browns, but he shouldn't have any issue getting back to 100 percent health in time for Seattle's regular-season opener against the Broncos on Sept. 8.

Expected to sit Saturday
Charbonnet (undisclosed) is expected to miss Saturday's preseason game against the Titans, Justin Melo of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Charbonnet is dealing with what appears like minor tightness, and while it doesn't seem like he'll be sidelined for long, he is a near lock to miss Seattle's second preseason contest. The second-year pro's absence figures to leave more opportunities on the table for Kenny McIntosh, especially as Kenneth Walker and the Seahawks' starters aren't expected to suit up.

Dealing with tightness
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that Charbonnet did not practice Wednesday due to tightness, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Charbonnet's availability for Saturday's exhibition game against the Titans could be affected by the injury, but the second-year running back doesn't seem to be dealing with anything that should sideline him very long. Kenny McIntosh will get a chance to step into the No. 2 role behind Kenneth Walker if Charbonnet has to miss Saturday's preseason contest.

Two touches in preseason opener
Charbonnet rushed twice for six yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Seahawks' 16-3 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Charbonnet drew the start due to Kenneth Walker sitting out and was featured on the opening possession, logging a one-yard gain on the Seahawks' first play from scrimmage before drawing a target and recording a five-yard run on consecutive plays later in the drive. Charbonnet appears set to fill a complementary role alongside Walker once again to open the season, one that afforded him 141 touches across 454 snaps from scrimmage over 16 regular-season games in his rookie 2023 campaign.

Complementary role in 2023
Charbonnet finished the 2023 season with 108 rushes for 462 yards and a touchdown and 33 receptions on 40 targets for 209 yards.
Analysis: Charbonnet often played around 50 percent of the offensive snaps in a game, but Kenneth Walker was the clear lead back with 248 touches, 1,164 yards from scrimmage and nine total touchdowns. Despite the lopsided workload split, Charbonnet showed promise as a rookie, especially as a pass-catcher. Moreover, his 4.3 YPC compares well to Walker's 4.1 YPC on about twice the carries, and it's almost certain that Charbonnet could hold up to an increased workload given his size and track record in…read more

Sees role as pass catcher
Charbonnet rushed the ball twice for two yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers. He added five receptions on five targets for 39 yards.
Analysis: Kenneth Walker aggravated his shoulder injury midway through the third quarter, leaving Charbonnet as Seattle's lead back. His rushing volume remained limited due to game script, though he did see four of his five catches after Walker's departure. Charbonnet's potential volume in Week 18 against the Cardinals will depend almost entirely on Walker's status.

Tallies negative yardage in Week 16
Charbonnet produced no yards on two carries and minus-4 yards on one catch (two targets) during Sunday's 20-17 win at Tennessee.
Analysis: In terms of rushes plus targets, Charbonnet's four in Week 16 matched his second fewest in a game through the first 14 contests of his career despite Seahawks No. 1 running back Kenneth Walker (shoulder) heading into Sunday's outing as questionable to suit up. Walker now has recorded 39 touches for 168 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD over the last two weeks, while Charbonnet has been contained to 12 total yards on seven touches during that span. As a result, Charbonnet doesn't hold much…read more

Four carries in win
Charbonnet rushed four times for 16 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Charbonnet handled 46 percent of the offensive snaps, but his usage shrank behind a healthy Kenneth Walker, who turned 22 touches into 112 yards and a touchdown. This isn't a new pattern, as Charbonnet has played more than 50 percent of the snaps while recording 10 or fewer touches on three occasions this season. Until his usage picks up, it will be hard to trust the rookie RB, especially in a daunting Week 16 matchup against Tennessee's run defense.

Paces backfield on nine carries
Charbonnet (knee) had nine carries for 44 yards and one reception on as many targets for four yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: Both of Seattle's top running backs were limited participants in practice this week -- Kenneth Walker with an oblique injury and Charbonnet with a knee bruise. Both players suited up Sunday, and the latter wound up leading the Seahawks in carries and rushing yards while Walker finished with the most combined touches. Charbonnet had operated as Seattle's No. 2 option when Walker was healthy, so the nearly even split in touches Sunday could have been the result of the starter being eased back…read more

Charbonnet (knee) is listed as active Sunday in San Francisco.
Analysis: Charbonnet suffered a bruised knee in the Seahawks' last game on Nov. 30, and he proceeded to follow a DNP/LP/FP practice routine during Week 14 prep. Fellow running back Kenneth Walker managed the same regimen as Charbonnet, and while both players were questionable for Sunday's contest, Walker will rejoin Charbonnet in the backfield for the first time since Week 11.

Likely to play Sunday
Charbonnet (knee) is listed as questionable but expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the 49ers, though he will likely return to the No. 2 role at running back Kenneth Walker (oblique) expected to return from a two-game absence, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: While Walker was out with a strained oblique, Charbonnet worked as Seattle's lead back both of the past two weeks and tallied 107 yards and a touchdown on 33 rushes along with five catches on six targets for 50 yards over that span. Charbonnet and Walker both closed Week 14 prep as full practice participants Friday, and though the two both took questionable tags into the weekend, the duo is on track to take the field together Sunday for the first time since Week 11.

Looking good for Sunday
Head coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism Friday that Charbonnet (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the 49ers, despite the running back being listed as questionable for the contest, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Charbonnet and fellow running back Kenneth Walker (oblique) both followed the same practice regimen this week, sitting out Wednesday and then upgrading to limited activity Thursday before practicing in full Friday. Like Charbonnet, Walker also carries a questionable tag into Sunday, and Carroll is optimistic he'll play. Charbonnet's fantasy value will take a big hit if Walker is back in the lineup after missing two games, as anticipated. Assuming both Charbonnet and Walker are active, the two…read more

Charbonnet (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Both Charbonnet and fellow RB Kenneth Walker (oblique) followed up no activity Wednesday with capped sessions one day later, giving them chances to be available Sunday at San Francisco. Charbonnet took on lead duties out of Seattle's backfield the last two games with Walker sidelined, but the rookie second-rounder also suffered a bruised knee in the fourth quarter last Thursday in Dallas.

Dealing with significant swelling
Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Charbonnet's bruised knee "puffed up pretty crazy" Thursday night, Brandon Gustafson of SeattleSports.com reports.
Analysis: Charbonnet played 76 percent of Seattle's snaps on offense through the third quarter of Thursday's 41-35 loss to Dallas, but he then missed the end of the game after exiting due to a knee bruise midway through the final frame. He'll have 10 days to recover before Seattle's next game, Week 14 against San Francisco, and it sounds like he's got better odds to play than fellow running back Kenneth Walker, whose oblique injury was deemed "complex" by Carroll.

Pacing backfield again
Charbonnet is in line to lead the Seahawks backfield Thursday in Dallas with Kenneth Walker (oblique) inactive, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Charbonnet will fill in for Walker for a second consecutive contest after handling the bulk of work afforded Seattle running backs last Thursday against the 49ers. In that outing, he earned a career-high 87 percent snap share and had 18 touches for 58 yards from scrimmage. Charbonnet still is in search of the first touchdown of his career, and his quest for one may be difficult Thursday against a Cowboys defense that has surrendered the eighth-fewest TDs (six) to opposing running backs in 11…read more

Inefficient in starting assignment
Charbonnet rushed 14 times for 47 yards and secured all four targets for 11 yards in the Seahawks' 31-13 loss to the 49ers on Thursday.
Analysis: The rookie back got the starting call as expected with Kenneth Walker (oblique) sidelined and unsurprisingly found efficiency hard to come by against an aggressive 49ers defense. Charbonnet's longest run went for a modest 10 yards, and seven of his 11 receiving yards came on one catch. With Seattle having just a standard seven-day period between games ahead a Week 13 Thursday night road battle versus the Cowboys, there's a possibility Walker still isn't healthy enough to suit up against Dallas.

Lead back after starter exits
Charbonnet had 15 carries for 47 yards and six receptions on as many targets for 22 yards after taking over as lead back following Kenneth Walker's (oblique) early departure in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Walker recorded just five touches before leaving Sunday's contest with what is now being described as a "legit" injury to the starter's oblique, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Charbonnet was already seeing his role increase gradually while playing alongside Walker this season, so it wasn't too surprising to see head coach Pete Carroll primarily use the rookie to replace Walker's 20-plus touches.

Charbonnet had six carries for 44 yards and caught four of five targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Charbonnet's 11 combined touches represented a new season high for the rookie, which comes on the heels of out-snapping starter Kenneth Walker in a blowout loss to Baltimore in Week 9. The latter scenario was likely the result of the one-sided affair that took place in Baltimore, but Charbonnet maintained the increased role against Washington even with the score being close from start to finish.

Analysis: Charbonnet out-snapped Kenneth Walker for the second straight week, although Walker led the backfield in touches, turning nine carries into 16 yards and catching a pass for a one-yard gain. Walker may have been battling an injury last week that limited his workload, but he wasn't on the injury report for Week 9.

Analysis: For the first time this season, Charbonnet led Seahawks running backs with 31 snaps (56 percent) while Kenneth Walker logged 24 snaps (44 percent). Still, Walker narrowly took the majority of the touches, turning eight carries into 66 yards and two targets into one four-yard catch.

Limited to four touches
Charbonnet rushed twice for five yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Kenneth Walker was the clear workhorse once again, as he logged a 76 percent snap share and 22 touches for 89 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Charbonnet handled just 24 percent of the offensive snaps. Charbonnet has been effective when given opportunities, as he has 109 yards on 23 carries (4.7 YPC) and 36 yards on six catches (nine targets). He's a necessary stash for fantasy purposes, but managers shouldn't feel confident starting him as long as Walker is healthy.

It was Charbonnet's most productive game yet for Seattle, but he was still a distant second in usage and fantasy output to Kenneth Walker, who scored two rushing TDs for the second straight game and had more than double the touches.

Analysis: Charbonnet was still the clear No. 2 back behind Kenneth Walker, who totaled 54 yards and two touchdowns on 18 touches. The rookie has showcased his punishing running style through the first two games, and his pass-catching ability will provide upside if he can push for more snaps. For the time being, it will be difficult to trust Charbonnet in fantasy as long as Walker is dominating the snap count.

Notches three touches

Analysis: Kenneth Walker was the clear lead back with 12 carries for 64 yards while Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas -- who produced 18 yards on three touches -- picked up the remaining backfield reps. Charbonnet was an effective pass-catcher in college, but he wasn't used at all in that capacity despite the lopsided outcome. It will be difficult to trust Charbonnet until he proves himself on the field. Next up, the Seahawks have a road matchup versus the Lions in Week 2.

Backup duties on tap
Charbonnet is listed as the No. 3 running back on the depth chart behind Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas heading into Sunday's matchup versus the Rams.
Analysis: It's a little surprising that Charbonnet is listed behind Dallas, but we aren't reading into that too much. Dallas hasn't recorded more than 55 touches in a season through three years in the league, and he's mostly a passing-down back anyway.

The 2023 second-round pick battled a shoulder injury recently but was deemed healthy enough to suit up for Seattle's preseason opener, unlike fellow running backs Kenneth Walker (groin) and Kenny McIntosh (knee).
