Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons made his Bears debut on Monday night, while left guard Quenton Nelson made his Seahawks debut. The teams traded for what they considered a missing piece last week. Simmons has had an immediate impact with five tackles, a sack and two tackles for loss. The Bears held the Seahawks to six first downs and 114 yards, most of it coming on the final drive of the half, and allowed Seattle to convert only 1-of-6 third downs. Seahawks punter Michael Dickson was busy, with four punts. The Bears lead 13-9 at halftime. Chicago’s opening possession went 80 yards in 17 plays and lasted 8 minutes and 32 seconds, the Bears’ 11th drive of 5-plus minutes this season. Luther Burden scored on a 1-yard touchdown reception. Cairo Santos kicked field goals of 44 and 38. The Bears had 208 yards, with Caleb Williams going 17-of-25 for 165 yards and a touchdown. Luther Burden has six catches for 53 yards and a touchdown, but D’Andre Swift has only 26 yards on 11 carries. Star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has kept the Seahawks in it, with 92 yards and a touchdown on four catches. The Seahawks trailed 13-3 when Smith-Njigba caught a 43-yard touchdown pass with 30 seconds left in the half. Jason Myers, though, missed the extra point. He kicked a 27-yard field goal early in the second quarter. The Seahawks had only 29 yards on four drives in their first half to go with scoring drives of 45 and 71 yards. Sam Darnold is 7-of-15 for 94 yards and a touchdown. Jadarian Price has four carries for 13 yards in his return, and Zach Charbonnet has three carries for 7 yards in his 2026 debut. Price and Charbonnet are the only other players with a reception besides Smith-Njigba, combining for three receptions for 2 yards
The Seahawks will officially have running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price for Monday Night Football. Both players are active. Charbonnet will make his 2026 debut after returning from a torn ACL that ended his season in the divisional round of the playoffs in January. He set career highs in 2025 with 730 rushing yards and a team-high 12 touchdowns. The Seahawks activated Price from injured reserve on Monday, and he is active for the first time since Week 3, when he injured his chest. He has 32 touches for 140 yards and two fumbles. Offensive guard Quenton Nelson will make his Seattle debut after a trade from Indianapolis this week. He will play left guard with Grey Zabel moving to right guard. The Seahawks won’t have outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, who was doubtful with an ankle injury, or back up quarterback Drew Lock, who was questionable with a right elbow injury. Jalen Milroe will backup Sam Darnold, with Lock designated as the emergency third quarterback. Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee), offensive tackle Charles Cross (ankle), running back Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring), nose tackle Brandon Pili (back) and offensive guard Beau Stephens are the team’s other inactives. The Bears won’t have cornerback Malik Muhammad (toe). He was limited in practice and given a questionable injury designation. The Bears’ other inactives are running back Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe), quarterback Case Keenum, defensive tackle Jayden Loving, offensive lineman Jordan McFadden and defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald didn’t commit to playing running back Jadarian Price against the Bears when he was asked about it on Saturday, but it looks like the rookie will be back in the lineup. Price was activated from injured reserve on Monday afternoon and he had no injury designation for the game, so it would appear he’ll be active for the first time since Week 3. Price has been sidelined by a chest injury. The Seahawks could also welcome Zach Charbonnet back to the backfield on Monday night. He was activated in Week 7, but did not play in Seattle’s win over the Chiefs. Running back Robert Henry was waived to open a spot for Price, which leaves Emanuel Wilson, George Holani and Velus Jones to go with Price and Charbonnet. The Seahawks also elevated wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. and offensive tackle Bobby Hart from the practice squad. Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and left tackle Charles Cross have both been ruled out for the matchup with the Bears
Jadarian Price rushed the ball ten times for 29 yards and caught two passes for eight yards in Monday night's 34-17 loss to the Chicago Bears. Price made his return to the lineup on Monday night after missing several games while on injured reserve. He didn't look great in his first game back, however, rushing at an inefficient clip of 2.9 yards per carry and not being much better in the passing game. He will not be fantasy relevant for the foreseeable future, especially with Zach Charbonnet also now back in the lineup for the Seahawks
Week 8 concludes on Monday night in Seattle, as the Seahawks (4-3) host the Chicago Bears (5-2) at Lumen Field. Running back Zach Charbonnet , who tore his ACL in Seattle's NFC divisional round playoff win against the San Francisco 49ers in January, is primed to make his 2026 season debut. He doesn't have a game status on Seattle's final injury report, indicating he will be available to play. The situation for First-round rookie running back Jadarian Price is slightly murkier. Why the lack of clarity with Price's situation? That is because Price, who has missed the last four games with a chest injury while on injured reserve, would need to be activated by 4 p.m. today. Seattle, however, has already designated Price to return with ESPN among those reporting he will play. "We're going to let the transaction speak for itself on that one," coach Mike Macdonald said. If the defending Super Bowl champions are going to defeat the high-flying Bears attack led by quarterback Caleb Williams , the Seahawks will need to run the football. Doing so will not only keep Williams on the sideline but also slow down Chicago's pass rush. That second part is key for Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold since he has the NFL's worst expected points added (EPA) per dropback when pressured at -0.63. That's why Seattle traded for Quenton Nelson , and there's a likely chance Nelson will be able to block for both of the Seahawks' top backs in his Seattle debut. "We have a plan for Zach and with JD," Macdonald said on Saturday . "If we were to make a move, that would happen on Monday to my knowledge. We'll see if that's what we do. We have some things going on roster-wise that we're working through right now, but we have a plan for Zach." The Seahawks don't have to activate Price on Monday, but they have two more weeks to make a decision on his status before he would be required to move to season-ending injured reserve. On the off chance Price isn't activated for Week 8, Charbonnet would likely share the rushing workload with Emanuel Wilson . Wilson leads the Seahawks in rushing yards (403), rushing touchdowns (three) and carries (111)

Seattle comes in after a dominant defensive performance where it held Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to just 213 total yards in a 20-3 home victory. Kansas City came into the game without a loss, and winning that game after losses to playoff contenders San Francisco and Denver (in overtime on the road) should give the champs a boost. The return of running back Zach Charbonnet also could provide a jolt, but the Bears allow less than 90 rushing yards per game, so this one will be on Sam Darnold , Jaxon Smith-Nigba and the defense. That defense allows fewer than 234 yards per game, best in the NFL.

Both teams have playmakers on offense, with Seattle's Smith-Njigba entering NFL Week 8 with an NFL-best 867 receiving yards and eight TDs. The Bears have been battering teams with the running game, but Seattle's defense also allows less than 90 yards per game on the ground.

The Seattle Seahawks have officially activated rookie running back Jadarian Price (chest) from Injured Reserve ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Price has been sidelined since Week 3 due to a chest injury. Across three games before being placed on IR, the 23-year-old recorded 140 scrimmage yards on 32 touches. Veteran Seattle back Zach Charbonnet (knee) is also set to return from injury in Week 8, making his season debut after being sidelined to start the year while he rehabbed a torn ACL. The Seahawks have gotten solid production from Emanuel Wilson while both Price and Charbonnet have been out, so the team could choose to split work fairly evenly between the three running backs on Monday
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald has not committed to activating running back Jadarian Price from injured reserve for Monday's game, despite Price being free of injury designations. Macdonald indicated that any roster moves involving Price would happen on Monday. This uncertainty, coupled with the return of Zach Charbonnet, suggests a potential roster crunch at running back, with players like Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, Velus Jones Jr., and Robert Henry Jr. also in the mix. Speculation about trading for Jonathan Taylor has also arisen
Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price (chest) is expected to play Monday night against the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, but he remains on injured reserve. Price was limited in Thursday's practice before logging full sessions Friday and Saturday, and he carries no injury designation for Week 8. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Saturday that Seattle was still working through roster decisions and would make a move Monday if it elects to activate the rookie first-round pick. Price rushed for 119 yards on 28 carries before missing four games with a chest injury. He also lost two fumbles across his first three appearances. Zach Charbonnet is confirmed to make his season debut Monday, while Emanuel Wilson is coming off a 100-yard rushing performance with a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. Even if activated, Price faces an uncertain workload in a crowded backfield, making him a risky flex option for fantasy managers
The Seahawks will have veteran running back Zach Charbonnet and rookie running back Jadarian Price in the same game for the first time on Monday. Neither Charbonnet nor Price has an injury designation for the game against the Bears. Charbonnet is returning from a torn ACL in his left knee that ended his season on his fifth carry in the divisional round of the 2025 playoffs. He underwent surgery on Feb. 20. The Seahawks opened his 21-day return-to-practice window on Oct. 1. Charbonnet ran for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns on 184 carries in the 2025 regular season, while sharing carries with Kenneth Walker. Price missed the past four games on injured reserve with a chest injury. He has 32 touches for 140 yards. The Seahawks will have to make a move for Price to return to the active roster from IR. The team ruled out offensive tackle Charles Cross (ankle), running back Velus Jones (hamstring) and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee). Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (ankle) is doubtful. Linebacker Patrick O’Connell (toe), defensive tackle Brandon Pili (back) and quarterback Drew Lock (right elbow) are questionable. Lock was limited in all three practices this week
Both Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price are set to play in Monday night's game for the Seahawks, marking the first time they will be on the field together
Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price (chest) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday, according to John Boyle of the team's official website. Price remains on Injured Reserve, but he has returned to practice and has a realistic chance of being activated and playing on Monday night against the Chicago Bears in Week 8. The 23-year-old 32nd overall pick from Notre Dame has a lot of long-term fantasy upside and is rostered in nearly 70% of Yahoo leagues despite being on IR, but the problem for his immediate fantasy value is that Zach Charbonnet (knee) is primed to make his 2026 season debut on Monday night against Chicago, and he is expected to be Seattle's primary RB once he is back to full speed. Price deserves to be rostered in most leagues for his upside, but he cannot be seriously trusted as a starting fantasy option in Week 8 with his status up in the air for a Monday night game. With Emanuel Wilson and George Holani also in the fold, Seattle's backfield is about to become one of the most crowded in the NFL, which is bad news for fantasy purposes
The Seattle Seahawks opted not to franchise tag their top running back last season and ended up losing him to free agency. Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP in February and shortly after joined the Kansas City Chiefs , leaving the defending champs with big shoes to fill. They have yet to fill those shoes effectively. Running back Zach Charbonnet is still recovering from a torn ACL he sustained last season, and rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price is on IR with a chest injury. Injuries aside, the Seahawks don't have the level of talent they did in Walker last season. But one name floating around the trade deadline conversation could fix Seattle's run game woes. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley could find a new home, and the Seahawks are certainly a team that makes sense. Let's take a look at the case for and against trading for Barkley. The Seahawks aren't playing as well as they hoped after their Super Bowl win in 2025. The team was sitting at .500 heading into Week 7, and a victory over the Chiefs on "Sunday Night Football" put some spark in their struggling offense. What would give them even more of a spark is a stronger run game. After trading away Walker, their ground game is a shell of what it was. Quarterback Sam Darnold has struggled with interceptions, tied for second-most in the league (7) through Week 6. Without a strong run game, quarterbacks can be forced to throw the ball, feeling they have limited options, and that pressure can lead to poor decision-making. If Darnold has a strong running back, the entire offense would feel the impact, and defenses would be forced to game-plan for a player who can make something into nothing on the ground. We have seen what value the combination of wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba and Walker did last season, which got them all the way to a Lombardi Trophy. Adding Barkley could greatly increase the team's playoff chances. Adding Barkley solves two problems with one player. The Seahawks would get the clear RB1 they've been missing, and the Eagles can get future picks to begin building with some youth. Currently, the Seahawks' run game ranks second-worst in EPA per rush. Seattle just shored up its offensive line with the addition of Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts . Now's a great time to add to that offensive unit. Barkley is a solid RB1, but he does have some cons. He's older, and he does have a history of injuries. To the over-29 crowd reading this, take no offense, you're certainly not old, but for a running back, 29 is up there. Backs typically have a short career, so 29 is older in the running back world than it is for everyone else. Now let's get to the injury part. He already missed two games due to injury this season. He isn't the most injury-prone RB out there, but as he ages, the chances of missing games will only go up. Another reason not to trade for Barkley is that the Seahawks already have a young core of running backs they can build around. They will be getting Charbonnet and Price back soon and can see what their offense can look like with them. Then we have Barkley's price. CBS Sports' own Carter Bahns says one version of this deal could involve the Eagles receiving Emanuel Wilson , a 2027 third-round pick, and a 2027 fifth-round pick. Even if the Seahawks don't make a playoff run this year, the team would still be just two years removed from a championship next season. The quarterback and head coach should be the same, and they could make another run in 2027. Adding future draft picks allows them to add the pieces they need through the draft, rather than through an aging running back. This is a trade I can see happening. The Seahawks just lost their MVP running back and desperately need to find a replacement. While Barkley won't be at Walker's level and likely doesn't have as many years left in the NFL , he provides the stability needed and perhaps even the chance at another Super Bowl appearance. They can strike
