The Seattle Seahawks
dropped a tough one at home to the San Francisco 49ers, losing 32-29. One of the biggest reasons why Seattle lost was the fact they turned the ball over four times, and the Niners scored 21 points off three of them. Of those turnovers, two were fumbles from running backs Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. Holani also had a fumble earlier in the game that thankfully he recovered.Seattle only ran for 89 yards as a team, with 61 of those coming from Emanuel Wilson. Needless to say, the Seahawks' running back position is a mess, especially with first round rookie Jadarian Price is on injured reserve.
With these struggles, the need for Zach Charbonnet to get back on the field grows with each passing week. Unfortunately, the 12th
Man is going to have to wait a little longer to see their presumed starter. Following Seattle's loss, head coach Mike Macdonald spoke with the media during the postgame press conference. Macdonald mentioned the Seahawks do not plan on playing him in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos.

Having Charbonnet back on a short week already felt like a tall order, but it's disappointing nonetheless. Seattle will have to find a way to survive one more week without him and find a way to get back to their winning ways.
