Seahawks running backs Charbonnet and Price could return against Bears
The Seattle Seahawks face the Chicago Bears on Monday night at Lumen Field.
Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that running back Zach Charbonnet will make his 2026 debut after recovering from a torn left ACL.
Charbonnet’s injury ended his 2025 playoff run, and he shared Seattle’s backfield with Kenneth Walker before it happened.
Rookie running back Jadarian Price has also recovered enough to play after missing four games with a chest injury.
But Seattle has not said whether it will activate Price from injured reserve, a move that would require a roster spot.
Both players could strengthen a backfield that has relied on Emanuel Wilson and George Holani while they were out.
Seattle has ruled out tackle Charles Cross, receiver Rashid Shaheed and running back Velus Jones, while linebacker Uchenna Nwosu is doubtful.
The Seattle Seahawks may have both Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price available against the Chicago Bears on Monday night.
Neither running back has a game injury designation, but Seattle has not confirmed that it will activate Price from injured reserve.
Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Charbonnet will make his 2026 debut after recovering from a torn left ACL.
Price has missed the past four games with a chest injury.
The Seahawks must make a roster move to activate Price.

What people are saying
We'll see if that's what we do
We've got some things going on roster-wise that we're working through right now, but we have a plan for Zach.
We're just going to let the transaction speak for itself on that one.
Zach's a guy that kind of works in the shadows.
