With Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price both back on the practice field during the week, things were trending towards both players returning to action for the Seahawks' Week 8 game against the Bears, and now it is official that both will play on Monday night.
Charbonnet, who will make his 2026 debut after opening the season on the physically unable to perform list after tearing his ACL last January, and Price, who has missed the past four games on injured reserve due to a chest injury, are both active for Monday night's NFC clash.
Charbonnet, who last year had career highs with 730 rushing yards and a team-high 12 touchdowns, and Price, Seattle's first-round pick in this year's draft, will add to a backfield that for most of this season has been led by Emanuel Wilson and George Holani.
Also active, as expected, is guard Quenton Nelson, who will be making his Seahawks debut after arriving in a trade last week. The eight-time Pro-Bowler will play his usual spot at left guard, with Grey Zabel moving to right guard.
The Seahawks will be missing six players due to injury for Monday's game, including outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, who was doubtful on the injury report due to an ankle injury, as well as left tackle Charles Cross (ankle), receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee) and running back Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring), all of whom were ruled out due to injuries suffered in last week's win over Kansas City.
Also inactive are backup quarterback Drew Lock, who was questionable with a right elbow injury, and defensive tackle Brandon Pili who was listed as questionable with a back injury. Lock, who was also inactive last week, will again serve as the emergency third quarterback behind Sam Darnold and Jalen Milroe.
Guard Anthony Bradford, who was questionable with a knee injury, and linebacker Patrick O'Connell who was questionable with a toe injury, are both active.
With Cross out, Josh Jones is expected to start at left tackle, while Tory Horton figures to take on a bigger role in both the passing game and as a returner with Shaheed sidelined. To add additional depth at those spots, the Seahawks elevated tackle Bobby Hart and receiver Montorie Foster Jr. from the practice squad, and both players are active.
Returning from injury for the Seahawks this week are starting linebacker Drake Thomas, who missed the past two games with an ankle injury, and linebacker Chazz Surratt, who has missed four games with a calf injury.
The Bears will be without defensive back Malik Muhammad II, who was questionable on the injury report with a toe injury, and running back Kyle Monangai, who was ruled due to thumb and toe injuries.
