Overview
- By Saturday, Oct. 31, multiple outlets reported that Zach Charbonnet will make his 2026 season debut and rookie Jadarian Price practiced fully and is available if Seattle activates him to the 53‑man roster.
- Price must be formally moved off injured reserve to play, a procedural roster step the Seahawks can complete before Monday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.
- Chicago announced on Saturday that running back Kyle Monangai is ruled out with lingering toe and thumb issues, leaving D'Andre Swift as the Bears' primary ball carrier.
- Seattle will insert All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson into the starting lineup while ruling out left tackle Charles Cross and several role players, creating a new offensive‑line mix for the run game.
- Those changes force clear game‑plan consequences: Seattle can manage Charbonnet's workload while leaning on a deeper backfield and upgraded line, and Chicago must adjust play calling and snap distribution without Monangai.
