Seahawks Activate Jadarian Price Off Injured Reserve
Seattle's rookie running back is eligible to return for the Week 8 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Football
The Seattle Seahawks activated running back Jadarian Price from injured reserve, officially placing him back on the 53-man roster. Price missed the last four games with a chest injury and is eligible to play against the Chicago Bears in Week 8.
Why it matters
Price's return adds depth to a backfield that has been shuffled during his absence, with Zach Charbonnet also returning from injury. The move gives Seattle more options in its running game heading into a Week 8 matchup.
Price, a No. 32 overall pick out of Notre Dame, missed four games on injured reserve before being activated. Price's fumbles in Weeks 2 and 3 against Arizona and Washington have not been addressed in the team's return announcement.
The players
Jadarian Price
A running back drafted by the Seahawks out of Notre Dame who was sidelined by a chest injury and is now returning to the active roster.
Zach Charbonnet
A Seahawks running back who suffered an injury in the playoffs and is making his 2026 debut in Week 8.
Emanuel Wilson
A Seahawks running back who rushed for 100 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7 and is considered a likely lead back against Chicago.
The details
Price was placed on injured reserve due to a chest injury and has now been officially reinstated to the 53-man roster. Zach Charbonnet is also making his 2026 debut in the same Week 8 game after recovering from a playoff injury suffered in January.
Timeline

Season Trajectory
Seattle's running back rotation has rotated between Price, Charbonnet, and Wilson throughout the season, reflecting a committee approach rather than a single featured back. The return of Price and Charbonnet at the same time gives the Seahawks more options as they enter the middle portion of their schedule.
Fantasy managers will want to track Price, Charbonnet, and Wilson's carry share in Week 8 to see who earns the lead role. Seattle's running back workload will shape fantasy lineup decisions for the coming week.
The takeaway
Running back rotations in the NFL can shift quickly, so monitoring weekly usage reports is the best way to judge which back is ready to carry the load. Seattle's depth gives it flexibility, but the lead role will likely depend on performance in practice and in game.
What happens next
Price is eligible to play in the Seahawks' Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears.
