The Seattle Seahawks activated running back Zach Charbonnet to their 53-man roster Thursday, meeting the 21-day deadline to either promote him or rule him out for the season.
Charbonnet has not appeared in a game this year while recovering from February ACL surgery. The injury occurred nine months ago. He began practicing Oct. 1 and was a full participant Wednesday for the first time since his return.
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday there was a "possibility" Charbonnet could appear "in some capacity" against Kansas City. Macdonald also expressed enthusiasm about Charbonnet getting a full week of practice reps. His playing status for Sunday night remains undetermined.
Charbonnet shared starting duties with Kenneth Walker III last season, rushing 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns. Walker now leads the league in rushing for the Chiefs. Seattle's offense has struggled without both backs available.
To make room, the Seahawks placed tight end Elijah Arroyo on injured reserve. Arroyo suffered a shoulder injury last week against Denver and underwent season-ending surgery Thursday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
