Charbonnet's ACL timeline unclear; repair allows week one, reconstruction means November.

Zach CharbonnetRBSEA

Charbonnet suffered an ACL injury in January 2025 with surgery on 2/20/2026, creating a front-weighted projection unique among rookies. Week one availability is uncertain and depends on whether the injury was an ACL repair (possible week one return) versus a full reconstruction (likely no return until November). Ian Rapoport's reporting suggested repair rather than reconstruction, but mixed reports persist. If it was a true reconstruction, Charbonnet likely won't play until November. Charbonnet has a front-weighted projection, meaning the Seahawks may need him early in the season rather than following the typical rookie ramp-up timeline (week 7–8 full integration). This contrasts with standard rookie expectations and suggests immediate fantasy relevance if he returns healthy.
