Seahawks to Activate Rookie RB Jadarian Price From IR for Monday Night vs. Bears
Seattle's first-round pick will play for the first time since Sept. 27, giving the Seahawks a full backfield against Chicago
Jadarian Price is back. The Seahawks plan to activate their first-round running back from injured reserve so he can play Monday night against the Bears, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. It'll be his first game action since Sept. 27.
Price has missed the last four games with a chest injury. Seattle opened his practice window last week, and Mike Macdonald said Saturday that if the team made a move, it would happen Monday. The rookie out of Notre Dame had 28 carries for 119 yards and four catches for 21 yards in his first four games, though he also lost two fumbles.

His return gives the Seahawks a full running back room for the first time this season. Zach Charbonnet is set for his season debut after tearing his ACL in January, and Emanuel Wilson and George Holani are also available. Wilson has carried the load so far with 403 rushing yards and three touchdowns, including 100 yards in last week's 20-3 win over the Chiefs.
How Seattle splits the work is the open question. Charbonnet is expected to be on a plan in his first game back, and Price hasn't played in more than a month, so Wilson may still get plenty of snaps. It's a tough matchup to sort that out against, since Chicago ranks third in the league against the run.
The 4-3 Seahawks host the 5-2 Bears at 5:15 p.m. PT on ESPN. They'll be without left tackle Charles Cross and receiver Rashid Shaheed.
