Walker, who is currently dealing with a groin injury, seems to have suffered the lesser of the two injuries between himself and Charbonnet, who is dealing with a shoulder injury and is “out indefinitely”.
Of course, there is little information yet about a potential return timeline for either running back, and with just six short weeks left until the beginning of the regular season, it’s possible that 7th-round rookie Kenny McIntosh could have a chance to see the field early in 2023.
That alone should be enough to have McIntosh rostered in most leagues, especially if Charbonnet would miss an extended period of time. McIntosh was an excellent pass catcher at Georgia and could be a very strong 3rd-down back to complement Kenneth Walker in Seattle’s offense.
