Seahawks running backs Charbonnet and Price set to return against Bears
Neither back has an injury designation, but Seattle still needs a roster move to activate Price from injured reserve.
Seattle expects veteran Zach Charbonnet and rookie Jadarian Price to play together for the first time against the Bears. Both running backs are listed without injury designations, although Price still requires a move to the active roster.
Charbonnet’s recovery follows a torn ACL in his left knee. The injury occurred on his fifth carry during the divisional round of the 2025 playoffs and ended his season. His surgery took place on Feb. 20, and Seattle began his 21-day practice-return window on Oct. 1.
During the 2025 regular season, Charbonnet recorded 184 carries for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns while splitting the workload with Kenneth Walker. Price, who has 140 yards from 32 touches, spent the past four games on injured reserve because of a chest injury.
Seattle ruled three players out: Charles Cross, an offensive tackle with an ankle injury; Velus Jones, a running back with a hamstring injury; and Rashid Shaheed, a wide receiver with a knee injury. An ankle injury leaves linebacker Uchenna Nwosu doubtful.
The questionable group includes linebacker Patrick O’Connell with a toe injury, defensive tackle Brandon Pili with a back injury and quarterback Drew Lock with a right elbow injury. Lock had limited participation in each of the three practices.
