The Seattle Seahawks are hoping to get back a pair of reinforcements at running back this week in Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet.
Price has been on injured reserve since Week 4 with a chest injury while Charbonnet has sat on the physically unable to perform list all season as he recovered from a torn ACL suffered last season.
Price was designated to return from injured reserve this week and turned in one limited practice and two full sessions.
Meanwhile, Charbonnet who was activated from the PUP list last week but didn’t play, logged two full practices and had a limited session sandwiched.

Price has not been activated off injured reserve yet, but does not carry a designation on the team’s official injury report.
The expectation is Price will be activated off injured reserve on Monday en route to taking the field for the first time since Week 3.
“With no injury designation, the expectation is he will be active and play,” Seahawks beat writer Brian Nemhauser said of Price on Saturday.
Is Zach Charbonnet playing in Week 8?

Like Price, Charbonnet does not have a designation on the final injury report.
The expectation is Charbonnet will suit up and make his 2026 debut on Monday night.
“Seahawks running backs Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet have no injury designations for Monday night and both are now expected to play against the Bears. This will be Charbonnet’s season debut,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote.

The Seahawks are going from an extremely short-handed backfield to a crowded one this week with Price, Charbonnet and Emanuel Wilson, who served as the lead back with both Charbonnet and Price sidelined.
Price led the backfield before his injury, but he wasn’t very effective after ranking as RB48 overall in the three games he played in, according to Fantasy Pros.
Charbonnet was a top 25 running back in fantasy points last season when he split work with Kenneth Walker.
How things shake out with the Seahawks’ backfield moving forward is anyone’s guess.

Despite his early-season struggles, the Seahawks aren’t going to give up on their first-round pick, but we fully expect Charbonnet to remain involved with Price.
However, both could be limited in their first game back, which means Wilson might continue to get run in Week 8.
This is just a messy situation to navigate and fantasy owners are best served leaving all three backs on the bench this week to see how things shake out.
Verdict: Sit all Seahawks RBs
