Pete Carroll Believes Zach Charbonnet Has A Bruised Knee

12 months ago

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll called running back Zach Charbonnet's (knee) injury a bruised knee after the rookie banged it on the turf in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. It's unclear when the injury occurred, but Charbonnet was not seen back on the field again after entering the medical tent and the locker room thereafter. Seattle quickly deemed Charbonnet doubtful to return, despite the back-and-forth nature of the eventual 41-35 loss. The 22-year-old second-round pick enjoyed the best display of his young career before exiting, rushing 19 times for 60 yards and a touchdown with a 39-yard screen catch on the final play of the third period. The Seahawks have a mini bye on tap, with their next game coming on Dec. 10 for a pivotal divisional tilt against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. With Kenneth Walker III (oblique) also ailing, DeeJay Dallas is the next man up on the backfield depth chart.
