CHARBONNET'S 21-DAY CLOCK IS TICKING, WILL SEATTLE ACTUALLY ACTIVATE HIM? SEAHAWKS NEWS

Mike Macdonald says Zach Charbonnet's 21-day practice window is about to open as he returns from reconstructive ACL surgery, and the coverage is treating it as unqualified good news. Under current NFL roster rules, a player on reserve/PUP cannot begin practicing until a minimum number of games has passed (lowered from six to four under the newer CBA terms), and once that window opens, the club has exactly 21 calendar days to activate him to the 53-man roster or he is automatically kept on reserve/PUP for the rest of the season, no second chance. Running that math against Seattle's own timeline puts the real deadline around October 22, after both the Week 5 game against the 49ers and the Week 6 Thursday night trip to Denver that most of this week's articles treated as the cautious return options. This video is about the clock nobody covering the story ran the numbers on, and about Curt Warner, the Seahawks running back whose own 1984 ACL tear played out with no such clock at all.
