Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) returns to practice Thursday
Zach Charbonnet has returned to Seahawks practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
It was a positive sign for Charbonnet after he was previously sidelined with a shoulder injury. He still didn’t seem to have pads on, but it is a good sign nonetheless that he is back on the field. The rookie could earn some key first-team reps while Kenneth Walker (groin) remains sidelined.

Javonte Williams (knee) expected to see some action in preseason
Broncos’ HC Sean Payton told reporters Thursday that RB Javonte Williams, who is coming off a torn ACL, is expected to play this preseason.
Fantasy Impact
Payton added that Williams might not play till the second preseason game. “I like how he’s progressing,” Payton said. This is huge news for Williams coming off tearing his ACL, especially given the history of running backs usually struggling the year after tearing their ACL.
