Seahawks get Price and Charbonnet back as Bears visit for Monday night

The Seattle Seahawks activated rookie running back Jadarian Price from injured reserve on Monday, hours before they host the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. Kickoff is 8:15 PM ET at Lumen Field on ESPN. The Bears come in 5-2 and the Seahawks 4-3, with Seattle a 3-point favorite in ESPN's listing.

What's confirmed

Price is back on the 53-man roster for his first game action since Sept. 27, and Zach Charbonnet is set to make his 2026 season debut. Seattle is expected to have Price, Charbonnet, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani all available, its first full running back room of the year. Wilson has carried the load so far with 403 yards and three touchdowns on 111 carries.

Seattle has ruled out left tackle Charles Cross (ankle), wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring). Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu is doubtful, and backup quarterback Drew Lock is questionable with an elbow issue. Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the team with 58 catches for 867 yards and eight scores.

Chicago ruled out running back Kyle Monangai (thumb), which leaves more of the backfield to D'Andre Swift, who has 476 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Tight end Cole Kmet and safety Coby Bryant are on injured reserve, and the Bears elevated tight end Stephen Carlson from the practice squad for the game. Caleb Williams enters off back-to-back 300-yard passing games, the first Bears quarterback to do that since 2018.

What's still open

Nobody has said how Seattle will split carries among four healthy backs. Expect a rotation in the first game back, and treat any Price or Charbonnet workload tonight as a starting point, not a verdict.

What RSO owners should do now

If you start Wilson, he still has the safest floor tonight, but his value as a lead back gets thinner from here. Price owners on rookie contracts should hold; a first-round back on a cheap deal is worth patience through one crowded week. Swift is a locked-in start with Monangai out. With Cross out, temper expectations for the Seattle passing game against a Bears defense that just added Jeffery Simmons by trade.

What to watch next

Snap shares for Price and Charbonnet, how Seattle's line holds up without Cross, and Tuesday's injury updates from both teams. The Bears are still looking for pass rush and secondary help before the trade deadline.
