SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will miss the remainder of the playoffs with a knee injury that requires surgery, coach Mike Macdonald said Monday.
Charbonnet injured his knee during Saturday night's 41-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC divisional round, and Macdonald said it's believed to be an ACL injury.
“Figuring out what the extent of the injury is and we’ll get all the details on when he’s going to get it fixed and all that,” Macdonald said. “You just feel for the guy, for the person. This guy is just an absolute stud, so he’s around and in good spirits. We got his back.”
During the regular season, Charbonnet led the Seahawks with 12 rushing touchdowns and had 730 yards rushing, second on the team behind Kenneth Walker III.
Charbonnet became the first Seattle player since Marshawn Lynch in 2014 to rush for at least 10 touchdowns in a season.
Walker, whose three rushing touchdowns against the 49ers tied him with Shaun Alexander for the most in a playoff game in franchise history, is the only healthy running back on Seattle's roster as it prepares to host the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC championship game on Sunday.
The Seahawks have veterans Velus Jones Jr. and Cam Akers on their practice squad. George Holani, who has been on injured reserve since late November, could also be activated.

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. stock market is steadying on Wednesday following its worst day since October, though some signs of fear remain on Wall Street about President Donald Trump’s desire to take Greenland.
The S&P 500 rose 0.3% after Trump said in a speech in Europe before business and government leaders that he would not use force to take “the piece of ice.” The index recovered a sliver of its 2.1% drop from the day before and pulled closer to its all-time high set earlier this month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 200 points, or 0.4%, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% higher.
Treasury yields also held steadier in the bond market, a day after jumping in a potential signal of worries about higher inflation in the long term. They got help from a calming of government bond yields in Japan. But some nerves seemed to remain in the market, and the price of gold rose another 1.9% and topped $4,800 per ounce for the first time.
Trump himself acknowledged how his desire for Greenland led to Tuesday’s drop in the stock market, but he called it “peanuts compared to what it’s gone up” in the first year of his second term and said it would go up more in the future.
Helping to lead the U.S. stock market was Halliburton, which rose 3.6% after the oilfield services company reported a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected.
United Airlines climbed 3.5% after likewise reporting a better profit for the end of 2025 than expected. CEO Scott Kirby also said that the airline’s strong momentum in revenue is continuing into 2026.
They helped offset a 4.8% drop for Netflix. The streamer sank even though it reported a stronger profit than expected as investors focused instead on a drop in its subscriber growth.
Kraft Heinz sank 6.6% after Berkshire Hathaway warned investors Tuesday that it may be interested in selling its 325 million shares in the name brand food giant that former CEO Warren Buffett helped create back in 2015.
Berkshire took a $3.76 billion write-down on its Kraft-Heinz stake last summer. Buffett said last fall that he was disappointed in Kraft Heinz’ plan to split the company in two, and Berkshire’s two representatives resigned from the Kraft board last spring.
In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.28% from 4.30% late Tuesday. But it's still well above the 4.24% level where it was at on Friday, before Trump said he will impose 10% tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland beginning in February. That would be on top of a 15% tariff specified by a trade agreement with the European Union that has yet to be ratified.
Natural gas futures rose more than 8% in anticipation of demand for more heating as a cold snap and brutal storms hit large swaths of the United States.
In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in mostly modest movements across Europe and Asia.
Japan's Nikkei 225 slipped 0.4%.
The country's prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, has called a snap election for Feb. 8, which sent yields of long-term government bonds to record levels. The expectation is that Takaichi, who is capitalizing on strong public support ratings, will cut taxes and boost spending, adding to the challenges Japan faces in handling its massive government debt.
The yield on the 40-year Japanese government bond was trading at 4.061% early Wednesday, down from the all-time high of 4.22% that it hit on Tuesday.
