Charlotte’s experienced RB Henry Rutledge returns from injury with versatile upside
Rutledge is a compact, versatile senior back for Charlotte who has shown value as a runner, receiver, and return man, but his 2025 season was almost wiped out by a lower-body injury after just two carries for 11 yards. In the 2024 season, he produced 72 rushing yards and 82 receiving yards, and over his career he’s flashed burst and multi-role usefulness rather than volume-workhorse traits. He looks like a smart fit for a staff that wants a reliable rotational piece who can contribute on special teams and create hidden yards with effort and toughness.
