According to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN, rookie running back Zach Charbonnet is not expected to play for the Seahawks in today’s home game against the Cardinals. To account for this possibility, yesterday the team elevated undrafted rookie running back SaRodorick Thompson from the practice squad.
It’s a bummer for Charbonnet, who’s off to a good start in his career despite limited time on the field. As a rusher he has totaled 109 yards on 23 attempts – averaging 4.7 yards per carry. Charbonnet has also gotten high marks in pass protection, earning the team’s best pass blocking grade from PFF (85.8).
Seattle also elevated wide receiver Easop Winston Jr. from the practice squad on Saturday. That is likely a hedge in case DK Metcalf (ribs, hip) is on the inactives list.
