The Seattle Seahawks have officially activated running back Jadarian Price from injured reserve, signaling his return to the active lineup for Monday night’s matchup against the Chicago Bears. Price, who has been sidelined since Week 3 due to a chest injury, was placed on the active roster on Monday afternoon without an injury designation. This move confirms that the rookie is cleared to play, ending a long absence that forced Seattle to rely on a makeshift backfield throughout the latter half of the season.

The activation necessitated roster adjustments, with veteran running back Robert Henry waived to make room for Price. The move solidifies a competitive depth chart featuring Price alongside Zach Charbonnet, who was also activated in Week 7 but did not see game action in Seattle’s recent victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. With Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Velus Jones also on the roster, head coach Mike Macdonald now has a versatile group of ball carriers ready to attack the Bears’ defense.
Beyond the backfield, the Seahawks elevated wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. and offensive tackle Bobby Hart from the practice squad to bolster their immediate needs. These moves come as a critical response to the confirmed absences of wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and left tackle Charles Cross, both of whom are ruled out for the contest. With key offensive weapons sidelined, Seattle’s reliance on Price and Charbonnet to move the chains becomes paramount in their bid to secure a win against Chicago.
