The Lumen Field faithful are still riding high after our Seahawks delivered a stunning 20-3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Week 8 injury report just dropped, and two names hit home for us. While the overall NFL injury report might be the cleanest it’s looked all season, we can’t ignore the updates coming out for our own guys.
Our Backfield Takes a Hit: Charbonnet and Price Updates
This is the news that stings right after a dominant win. Running back Zach Charbonnet is dealing with a knee injury, and Jadarian Price, another key back, has a chest injury and was just designated to return from injured reserve. Any time our backfield takes a hit, it’s a gut punch. We need those guys healthy and pounding the rock for Brian Fleury’s offense. Charbonnet’s knee is a definite concern, and while Price being designated to return from IR is a step in the right direction, a chest injury is no joke. We’ll be watching practice reports like a hawk for any good news on their statuses.
Beyond the Emerald City: Key NFL Injury News
Around the league, there are a few other big names making headlines. Lamar Jackson, the Ravens’ star quarterback, has missed the past three games with a high-ankle sprain. But, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting Jackson is expected to play in Week 8 against the Bills on Sunday afternoon. If he’s back, that’s a massive boost for the entire Baltimore offense, especially Derrick Henry, Ja’Kobi Lane, and Mark Andrews. Zay Flowers has been fine with Tyler Huntley, but his ceiling explodes with Jackson at the helm.
Over in New York, Jets running back Breece Hall was held out of Sunday’s loss to Miami due to a quad injury. Braelon Allen took over the ground work. Hall’s return looks likely for Week 8 against the Raiders, but we’ll need to monitor his practice reports. If he plays, he should be in your lineup, but we might see a split where Allen still gets early-down work and Hall takes passing snaps. Another rookie, Jeremiyah Love, the Cardinals’ top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has had a rough start. He’s missed the past two games with a nagging ankle injury but might have a shot to play in Week 8 against Dallas. However, Bam Knight has been impressive with 128 yards on 22 carries over the last two games, so a three-back rotation could be forming, making it tricky to trust any one guy. Finally, Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. exited late in their win over Indy with a knee injury and didn’t return. Jordan Mason, just back from IR, led their rushing attack with 15 carries for 68 yards.
It’s clear that while the league might be breathing a collective sigh of relief, we in the Emerald City have a couple of big questions to answer. We need Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price back on the field, healthy and ready to roll. Our Hawks just put the league on notice with that 20-3 W, now let’s keep that momentum going, injury report be damned! Go Hawks!
