Seattle Seahawks running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price are healthy to play Monday night against the Chicago Bears at Lumen Field. Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Charbonnet will make his 2026 debut after returning from a torn left ACL suffered in the divisional round on Jan. 17. Charbonnet was activated off the physically unable to perform list on Oct. 22.
Rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price, recovering from a chest injury, was limited in practice Thursday before returning fully the last two days. He does not have to be activated until Monday to play against Chicago. Seattle ruled out starters left tackle Charles Cross (ankle) and wide receiver/kick returner Rashid Shaheed (knee), plus backup running back Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring).
Starting outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (ankle) is doubtful. With Price on injured reserve, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani have led the backfield. Charbonnet's return adds depth as the Seahawks work through roster moves involving Quenton Nelson's trade.
Macdonald praised Charbonnet's work ethic, calling his recovery "remarkable." Cross has a high ankle sprain that could sideline him one or two games. Shaheed is done a great job returning kicks. Four backups are questionable: guard Anthony Bradford (knee), quarterback Drew Lock (right elbow), linebacker Patrick O'Connell (toe) and defensive tackle Brandon Pili (back).
