That is unfathomable. I don't know if that's true. I think that might be more speculation... he got hurt in January. He then got surgery because there was swelling and such. A month later, February 20th was the surgery date. Which means by the time the season starts, it's like six and a half months post-op for that ACL.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalInjury
Charbonnet Week 1 return is unfathomable; October/November more realistic.
JJ Zachariason strongly disputes reports that Charbonnet could be ready for Week 1, calling it unfathomable and overly optimistic. Charbonnet had ACL surgery on February 20th, making Week 1 only 6.5 months post-op—multiple months ahead of typical RB ACL recovery timelines. Zachariason dismisses peptide recovery claims as unreliable and speculates October at earliest, more likely November, for return to full strength. This impacts Janarian Price's early-season opportunity.
