Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald was cautiously optimistic when discussing the knee injury sustained by running back Zach Charbonnet in Saturday’s NFC divisional-round win against the San Francisco 49ers.

Charbonnet was injured in the second quarter after being tackled on a third-and-short opportunity. He was slow to his feet and favored his left knee before heading to the sideline. He did not return, finishing with five carries for 20 yards.

“Optimistic with Charbs,” Macdonald said after the top-seeded Seahawks’ 41-6 rout of the visiting 49ers. “We’ve got to get an image and stuff, but early indications are hopefully it’s OK structurally. But you never know with these things, but he wasn’t able to come back, obviously.”

Whether Charbonnet is able to play in next week’s NFC Championship Game is unknown. The Seahawks, who will play in the conference title game for the first time since the 2014 season, will host the winner of Sunday’s contest between the Los Angeles Rams and host Chicago Bears.

Kenneth Walker III, who led the Seahawks in carries (221) and rushing yards (1,027) during the regular season, totaled 116 yards on the ground and three touchdowns on Saturday.

Charbonnet, 25, rushed for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns in 16 games during the regular season.

Deadspin | No jail time for ex-Michigan coach Sherrone Moore in trespassing case  Kelli Moore, left, walks with her husband former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore, and his attorney Ellen Michaels at the 14A-1 District Court in Ann Arbor on Friday, March 6, 2026.   Former Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore was sentenced to 18 months of probation with no jail time on Tuesday after allegedly trespassing on the home of a staff member with whom he had an affair.  Moore was also fined more than ,000 and ordered not to have contact with the staff member, Paige Shiver, or to use drugs or alcohol during his probation.  The sentencing followed a plea deal last month in which Moore agreed to plead no contest to new misdemeanor charges of malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing. In exchange, prosecutors in Washtenaw County (Mich.) dismissed the previous charges, which included third-degree felony home invasion.  “I don’t believe, when I look at the entirety of this situation, that incarceration should be appropriate,” District Court Judge J. Cedric Simpson said, per reports. “I warn you Mr. Moore, should there be a violation, all bets are off. I don’t like sending people to jail, but I don’t have a problem doing it.”  Moore’s lack of a previous criminal history helped him avoid jail time, and Simpson noted the support of his wife Kelli Moore as the person “saving you from the full wrath of this court.” The husband and wife have held hands as they entered and exited the courthouse during the proceedings.  Moore, 40, read a statement in court that thanked his faith and his wife. Neither of them took questions outside the courthouse.   “Sherrone is grateful for this matter to be resolved and he and his wife Kelli are ready to move forward with their family and focus on the next chapter,” defense attorney Ellen Michaels told gathered media.  Michigan fired Moore for cause on Dec. 10 for engaging in a longstanding relationship with his executive assistant. On the day he was fired, he allegedly went to the apartment of the woman with whom he had the affair. She told authorities he barged in, grabbed two butter knives and backed her into a corner.  Moore was arrested and spent two nights in jail. The original charges of home invasion, stalking and breaking and entering included penalties of up to five years in prison.  Moore had a 16-8 record at Michigan after taking over for Jim Harbaugh, for whom he served as offensive coordinator. Both he and Harbaugh were embroiled in a sign-stealing controversy from the school’s 2023 national championship season, with Moore ultimately serving a two-game suspension.  –Field Level Media   #Deadspin #jail #time #exMichigan #coach #Sherrone #Moore #trespassing #caseKelli Moore, left, walks with her husband former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore, and his attorney Ellen Michaels at the 14A-1 District Court in Ann Arbor on Friday, March 6, 2026.

Deadspin | Tall order as White Sox add LHP Noah Schultz to roster  Feb 26, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Chicago White Sox pitcher Noah Schultz (76) throws the first pitches of his major league career during the fifth inning of a spring training game against the San Diego Padres at Camelback Ranch. Mandatory Credit: Allan Henry-Imagn Images    The Chicago White Sox made it official Tuesday, selecting the contract of top pitching prospect Noah Schultz from Triple-A Charlotte in advance of his major league debut against the Tampa Bay Rays.  The White Sox also reinstated outfielder Everson Pereira from the injured list and placed right-hander Jonathan Cannon on the IL with right hip inflammation.  Rated by Baseball America as their No. 1 overall prospect, and No. 21 in MLB, Schultz was Chicago’s first-round pick (26th overall) in the 2022 draft. In 14 innings this season at Triple-A, the left-hander has a 3-0 record and a 1.29 ERA with 19 strikeouts and two walks.  At 6-foot-10, Schultz will become one of the tallest left-handed pitchers in major league history, joining Randy Johnson and Eric Hillman. Former White Sox right-hander Jon Rauch was 6-foot-11.  Schultz threw just 73 total innings across Double-A and Triple-A last season due to a patella injury. He has yet to throw more than 88 1/3 innings in a season since being drafted, after dealing with shoulder and hand injuries.   Over five seasons across five levels of minor league competition, Schultz has a career 2.76 ERA in 59 appearances (58 starts) spanning 221 2/3 innings. He has 285 strikeouts against 84 walks.  Pereira, 25, has been out since April 3 with a left ankle sprain. He was 4-for-16 with a home run in five games this season after he was acquired from the Rays in a November trade.  Cannon, 25, was making his season debut when he was injured in the third inning of Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Royals. He is 9-20 with a 5.13 ERA in 46 appearances (38 starts) for Chicago over the past three seasons.  –Field Level Media   #Deadspin #Tall #order #White #Sox #add #LHP #Noah #Schultz #rosterFeb 26, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Chicago White Sox pitcher Noah Schultz (76) throws the first pitches of his major league career during the fifth inning of a spring training game against the San Diego Padres at Camelback Ranch.
