The injuries are mounting for the Seattle Seahawks at running back. With Kenneth Walker III (oblique) already out, the Seahawks could barely afford another injury.
But that was their reality in the fourth quarter of their game against the Dallas Cowboys when Zach Charbonnet headed to the blue medical tent after getting hurt on a failed fourth-down run.
Latest Zach Charbonnet Injury Update
The running back later went to the locker room for further evaluation.
Here’s why, the Seahawks announced Charbonnet as doubtful to return with a knee injury.
If he is unable to return to the game, the Seahawks will be left with two available running backs: DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh.

Charbonnet accounted for all of the Seahawks’ running back carries at the time of his injury. He gained 60 yards on 19 carries and did have a touchdown. Combined, Dallas and McIntosh entered Thursday’s game with 28 rushing yards on eight carries in all of 2023.
Fantasy Implications of Zach Charbonnet Injury
Charbonnet has shown fantasy managers what he can do when he gets the majority of the work here on Thursday Night Football against the Cowboys. Just as questions were beginning to arise over whether or not he could possibly take over this backfield, an injury is the last thing that NFL fans and fantasy managers alike want to see.
If Charbonnet is forced to miss extended time, Walker would instantly move back up the rankings to a top-5 option, assuming that he’s healthy and ready to go in Week 14. Otherwise, DeeJay Dallas is the next man up in this backfield, and he would instantly move to the top of the recommended waiver wire adds going into next week.
