The Seattle Seahawks are finally about to get reinforcements at running back. Zach Charbonnet is set to make his season debut, and he could be joined by Jadarian Price as well.
Below, we will look at Price’s current status and project if the rookie will play tonight against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.
Jadarian Price injury update: Will he play tonight against the Bears?
Price still has a red flag in Yahoo fantasy football leagues as the Seahawks still must activate the rookie running back prior to 4 p.m. ET today.
Seattle designated Price for return from IR last Thursday.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Price is “expected to play” tonight against the Bears.
That said, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald created some buzz this past weekend while talking about Price’s availability for tonight’s game.
Macdonald was asked the following question by a Seahawks reporter:
“Jadarian doesn’t have an injury designation so if he’s not activated it’s not injury related on Monday. Could there be some other reason?”
Macdonald stuttered and then replied: “Yeah, we’re just going to let the transaction speak for itself on that one.”
Moments earlier, Macdonald was asked about how Charbonnet and Price would potentially share the workload on Monday night.
“We have a plan for Zach, and with [Price], I think if we were to make a move that would happen on Monday to my knowledge,” Macdonald said. “So we’ll see if that’s what we do. We’ve got some things going on roster-wise that we’re working through right now, so … but we have a plan for Zach.”
The Seahawks have routinely been mentioned as a team that could pursue Colts running back Jonathan Taylor in a trade, so NFL conspiracy theorists had a social media field day with Macdonald’s allusiveness regarding Price.
