Mike Macdonald gives health updates for Leonard Williams, Zach Charbonnet
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald spoke with the media on Monday about the health of his two biggest players.
The Seattle Seahawks, currently boasting a 3-1 record, face a daunting schedule ahead with games against the undefeated San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, and Chicago Bears in their next four matches. The team's first challenge lies against the 49ers, who avenged a previous playoff loss to Seattle by a decisive score of 41-6 in January. Seattle's head coach, Mike Macdonald, addressed the health status of key players during his weekly appearance on Brock and Salk.
Defensive tackle Leonard Williams suffered an ankle injury during the team's Sunday game against the Chargers. Initially, Macdonald expressed optimism regarding Williams' availability for the upcoming Week 5 match against the 49ers, stating, "I'd say we're optimistic for the game but we'll see how the week goes." However, the coach emphasized the team's cautious approach, hinting at a possible wait-and-see attitude until the week progresses.
Running back Zach Charbonnet is expected not to play in the game against the 49ers due to concerns over a knee issue. Macdonald confirmed that Charbonnet will participate in team reps throughout the week but will not feature in the Sunday match. The Seahawks are carefully monitoring Charbonnet's condition, with the player currently in the 21-day practice window. He remains eligible to return to active duty, potentially elevating his status to the 53-man roster if the team deems him ready.
