The Seattle Seahawks have activated running back Zach Charbonnet off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and added him to the 53-man roster. Charbonnet has yet to play this season. He was a co-starter last year, rushing for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns alongside Kenneth Walker III, and has been working his way back from February ACL surgery.
Charbonnet was a full participant in practice Wednesday for the first time since he returned to practice on Oct. 1. No decision has been made on his status for Sunday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, but coach Mike Macdonald said Monday there was a "possibility" he could see action "in some capacity." "Zach is going to have a full week's worth of reps, so that's exciting," Macdonald said.
In a corresponding move, the Seahawks placed tight end Elijah Arroyo on injured reserve after he suffered a shoulder injury last week against the Denver Broncos. Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Arroyo will undergo season-ending surgery on Thursday.
The moves give Seattle a boost in its backfield as it prepares for a primetime matchup with the Chiefs, with Charbonnet's return offering the team another option at running back.
