The good news is, Seattle placed Arroyo on the injured reserve to make room for Zach Charbonnet, who was activated off the physically unable to perform list today. He was a full participant in practice yesterday for the first time since tearing ACL in January.

Head coach Mike Macdonald says it’s possible Charbonnet could make his season debut against Kansas City on Sunday.
