Seattle will be without their leading touchdown scorer.

Seattle Seahawks will not be able to count on their leading touchdown scorer for the remainder of the postseason after RB Zach Charbonnet sustained a “significant” knee problem, boss Mike Macdonald revealed today.

Zach has a torn ACL, according to multiple news reports.

Part of Seattle’s 2-headed rushing attack along with Kenneth Walker III, Charbonnet went down in the 2nd quarter of the Seahawks’ 41-6 victory vs. the 49ers in the divisional round 2 days ago. His head coach was optimistic about the problem that his running back sustained postgame before admitting today that Zach will need a procedure that will come with significant time outside the field.

“It is very unfortunate,” the Seahawks manager started. “Charbonnet is going to need a procedure. So, he will be out for the rest of the playoffs. We love him and wish him a speedy recovery.”

Seattle head coach also shared QB  Sam Darnold is doing “good” after competing through an oblique problem in the divisional round, and that LT  Charles Cross is day-to-day after leaving in the 3rd quarter with a foot problem.

A 2nd-round selection by Seattle, Zach rushed for 730 yards and a team-high 12 TDs on 184 carries in 16 regular-campaign matches.
