Jadarian Price is officially back! Our rookie running back has been activated from injured reserve, and it looks like he’s finally set to hit the field for the first time since Week 3. This is massive news for the Emerald City’s backfield.
Remember that chest injury that sidelined him for weeks? Gone. Price has no injury designation for Monday night’s game against the Bears, which means he’s ready to roll. Coach Mike Macdonald kept things tight-lipped on Saturday, not committing to Price playing, but the Monday afternoon activation says it all. Our guy is coming back, and just in time to give our run game a much-needed shot of adrenaline.
This backfield is suddenly getting crowded, and in the best way possible! Not only is Price back in the mix, but Zach Charbonnet could be joining him on the field. Charbonnet was activated back in Week 7, but he didn’t even play in that huge win over the Chiefs. Talk about fresh legs! To make room for Price on the active roster, Robert Henry got waived. So, for the Bears game, we’re looking at Price, Charbonnet, Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Velus Jones. That’s a deep stable of backs, baby, and it gives offensive coordinator Brian Fleury a ton of options to unleash.
It wasn’t all good news though. To fill out the gameday roster, we also saw wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. and offensive tackle Bobby Hart get elevated from the practice squad. They’ll definitely need to step up because we’re going to be missing some absolute playmakers for this Monday night showdown. Rashid Shaheed, our lightning-fast wide receiver, has officially been ruled out. And to make things even tougher, left tackle Charles Cross is also sidelined for the Bears game. Losing two starters, especially a key receiver and our blindside protector, is a gut punch heading into a crucial game. Who’s gonna step up and fill those shoes?
So, we’re heading into Monday night’s game against the Bears with Jadarian Price back, bringing that rookie spark, but also facing some serious absences with Shaheed and Cross out. This is where the depth of Mike Macdonald’s squad gets tested, folks. Lumen Field is gonna be absolutely rocking, and our guys have to deliver. Can the new-look backfield carry the load? Can the offensive line hold up without Cross? Every single snap is going to count under the lights. Let’s get this W!
