ACL recovery timeline mid-October; critical monitoring point for backfield.

Zach CharbonnetRBSEA

Charbonnet suffered an ACL injury in mid-January and did not have surgery until February 20th, after the Super Bowl. Using the standard 9-month recovery timeline for ACL injuries, he is projected to return around mid-October and may not be 100% until after Halloween. The source emphasizes this is the critical monitoring point throughout training camp in August; any negativity about his recovery could push Price's ADP up, while a healthy return by mid-October or early November could limit Price's upside. Charbonnet's return timing is the key factor affecting the Seahawks backfield opportunity landscape, as he is the proven NFL back on the roster.
