The Lumen Field faithful are about to get a serious boost to the ground game, because Zach Charbonnet and rookie Jadarian Price are both returning to action for the Seahawks on Monday night. This isn’t just a couple of guys coming back, this is the first time our team gets to see Charbonnet and Price in the same game, and it’s a massive lift for the Emerald City offense. Neither running back even has an injury designation for the upcoming battle against the Bears, which is exactly what you want to hear.
Charbonnet’s Comeback After ACL Tear
Let’s talk about Zach Charbonnet. This man has been on a long, grueling road back. He’s returning from a torn ACL in his left knee, an injury that brutally cut short his 2025 season on just his fifth carry during the divisional round of the playoffs. Ouch. He underwent surgery back on February 20, and the 12s have been waiting for this moment since. The team opened his 21-day return-to-practice window on October 1, and now he’s cleared to roll. You remember what he did in 2025, right? Charbonnet torched defenses for 730 yards and an incredible 12 touchdowns on 184 carries. Getting that kind of production back in the backfield is huge.
Price’s Return and the Injury Report
Rookie Jadarian Price also makes his long-awaited return after missing the last four games on injured reserve with a chest injury. He’s already shown flashes, picking up 32 touches for 140 yards earlier this season. To get Price back on the active roster from IR, the Seahawks will have to make a roster move, but it’s a no-brainer when you see the potential of this young back. Unfortunately, while we’re getting two key players back, the team did rule out offensive tackle Charles Cross with an ankle injury, running back Velus Jones with a hamstring issue, and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, who’s dealing with a knee injury. Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu is also doubtful with an ankle problem. Adding to the list, linebacker Patrick O’Connell (toe), defensive tackle Brandon Pili (back), and quarterback Drew Lock (right elbow) are all questionable. Lock was limited in all three practices this week, so we’ll have to keep an eye on that.
With both Charbonnet and Price ready to go, the Seahawks are looking to unleash a new dynamic on Monday night. Getting these two back for the Bears game could be the spark the offense needs to really hit its stride. Get ready, Seattle, because our run game just got a whole lot more exciting.
