From the article

wide receiver Irv Charles has been activated onto the 53-man roster. Charles was placed on injured reserve prior to the start of the regular season as he continued to recover from an ACL tear suffered at the end of the 2024 season. Charles may be listed as a wide receiver but he's never been targeted since entering the NFL in 2022, instead making a name for himself as a special teams gunner during his time with the New York Jets.

Positive signalRole

Charles activated from IR; special teams gunner role, not receiver target.

Activated from injured reserve after recovering from an ACL tear suffered at the end of 2024; listed as wide receiver but has never been targeted in NFL career since 2022, instead specializing as special teams gunner with the Jets; Seattle acquired him in May for a conditional 2028 pick and expects him to contribute on kick return defense and gunner duties as the team's special teams unit has struggled defending kick returns despite strong punt coverage.
