Overview
- The Seahawks designated rookie running back Jadarian Price to return from injured reserve on Thursday and upgraded him from limited to full practice participation by Friday.
- Head coach Mike Macdonald called Price’s Monday-night availability “realistic,” but Seattle must formally activate him to the 53-man roster during the 21-day evaluation window for him to be eligible to play.
- Zach Charbonnet is also back at practice and Quenton Nelson, the new All‑Pro guard acquired in a trade with the Colts, is expected to play, which together reshape how Seattle might divide snaps in a crowded backfield.
- The Bears entered the weekend short-handed with Kyle Monangai ruled out for Monday and tight end Colston Loveland limited by a neck issue, leaving Chicago with thinner depth at two key offensive positions.
- Under NFL IR rules Price can practice for up to 21 days after being designated to return but cannot play until activated, so Seattle’s game-day personnel and play-calling will hinge on the club’s activation choice and Saturday game‑day designations.
